Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups yellow onions sliced with grain
  • 1 head of cabbage roughly chopped, core removed
  • 2 Tbsp. bacon fat
  • 1 Tbsp. garlic minced
  • 6 thyme sprigs
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tsp. sea salt

Instructions

  • Cut the onions with the grain to create strings rather than rings. Place the cabbage on a large cutting board, core side up. Cut the cabbage into 3 large pieces to remove the core. Then roughly chop the cabbage into spoon-size pieces. Make sure to break up leaves into individual pieces.
  • Using sauté setting… add bacon fat to pot. Add onions to pot and cook for 2-3 minutes until just barely softened. Add garlic, thyme, bay leaf, and vinegar. 
  • Add cabbage, chicken broth, and salt to pot and give a really good mix. I mean really mix it! Lock lid and cook for 2 minutes at high pressure.
  • Once cook time is complete, quick-release pressure. Then remove lid, bay leaf, and thyme sprigs. Mix again and serve.
