Who else had to eat greens for their New Year’s Day meal? As a kid, this was a must but I just couldn’t stomach collards! So my mom always may cabbage with it!

As I got older, I kind of forgot about cooking cabbage outside of using it in slaw. So, when I first got my Instant Pot I was like, I should totally try it! Well, it was a hit, and it’s a super-fast side dish which is a plus!

While there are all kinds of cabbage and even different colors, I just use the standard green head of cabbage about medium-sized.

This Instant Pot cabbage recipe serves about 5 give or take depending on your veggie lovers. If you are on the Weight Watchers Freestyle plan each serving (about 1 cup) is ZERO points!
