Instant Pot Braised Red Cabbage

Description

Any way you flavor it, braised red cabbage is a favorite in most of northern Europe for a reason: it’s inexpensive, simple to make, and it goes with nearly everything from soused herring (Norway) to breaded pork chops (Germany).

Ingredients

  • 1 large red cabbage, about 2 1/2 pounds
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium red onion, halved and thinly sliced through the root end
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons caraway seeds
  • 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Gather the ingredients.
  2. Cut the cabbage into quarters through the root end. Cut out the hard, white core at the base of each quarter and discard. Thinly slice the cabbage. Set aside.
  3. Put the oil in the pot, select SAUTÉ and adjust to high heat. When the oil is hot, add the onions and caraway seeds and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are tender, about 4 minutes.
  4. Press CANCEL. Add the cabbage, vinegar, brown sugar, salt, and pepper and stir to combine. The pot will look very full, but the cabbage will wilt substantially as it cooks.
  5. Lock on the lid, select the PRESSURE COOK function, and adjust to high pressure for 5 minutes. Make sure the steam valve is in the SEALING position. When the cooking time is up, quick-release the pressure. Serve immediately.
