Ingredients:
- olive oil
- smoked sausage,
- large onion, chopped
- large green bell pepper, chopped
- large garlic cloves, minced
- cajun seasoning
- dried oregano, smoked paprika, black pepper, red pepper flakes
- soy sauce
- chicken broth (2 cups if you want it to be a soup)
- small cabbage, bite-size chopped
- butter, cut into chunks
Making The Cabbage and Smoked Sausage In The Instant Pot
The first step is to preheat the Instant Pot on the high sauté setting. When it gets hot, add the olive oil and smoked sausage. Cook the sausage until it starts to slightly brown all over. Stir once or twice during this time. This will take only a few minutes in total. Once done, remove the browned sausage to the bowl.
Add the onion and bell pepper to the pot and fry for just a few minutes until they are soft.
Add the garlic, cajun seasonings, and spices to the pot. Stir for about a minute, until the garlic is fragrant.
Add the soy sauce and chicken broth and mix well. Scrape the bottom to avoid a BURN warning.
Add the cabbage and give it a quick stir. Don’t over stir, though. The mixture should be entirely combined with even seasoning distribution after just a few stirs.
Spread butter pieces over the top and then layer browned sausage evenly over the top. Spread it out without stirring the bottom
Lock and seal the lid. Cook on manual/high for 1 minute followed by a 5-minute natural pressure release. Release the remaining pressure before opening the lid. Keep in mind that the pot will take at least 20 minutes to come up to pressure, the result of which you will have a super tender and delicious cabbage.
Add salt and pepper to taste. Cook on low, add parsley and grated parmesan if desired. Serve & enjoy!
