Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 5 cups thinly sliced cabbage
- 1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
- 2 cups diced celery, chopped finely
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced and finely chopped
- 2 plum tomatoes, diceed
- 1/4 cup bacon fat
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Place all of the ingredients into the Instant Pot.
- Stir all the ingredients together in the pot.
- Close the pot, placing the valve on seal.
- Press the manual button, set the pot at high pressure, and set the cooking time to 12 minutes.
- Allow the pot to release naturally for about 10 minutes before opening the lid, or keep the cabbage in the pot on warm until ready to serve.
Notes
- You can also manually release the pressure right after cooking by turning the valve to the quick release position, which allows built-up steam to escape. However, this can be a bit messy, as moisture from the steam is released into your kitchen as the pressure is released.

The cooking process of the Instant Pot pressure cooker may be new to many home cooks, but as you use it more, you will gain experience and become better acquainted with it. Some have a fear of the pot bursting and splattering food all over the kitchen, but this is not your mama's old pressure cooker. There are safety features built in that you can use, such as ensuring the valve is in the sealing position before turning it on, and also allowing the pot to undergo natural release before opening it. All is well as long as you follow the included instructions on how to use your Instant Pot.
