Instant Pot Purple Cabbage and Raisins – Easy Vegetables

By

Instant Pot Purple Cabbage. Easy.

It’s not a secret that I love my Instant Pot.

I use it every. single. day. literally. (and usually multiple times a day)

It’s the easiest way to get more vegetables into my family’s bodies.

Here’s a quick cabbage recipe I made. Easy and delicious.

Purple Cabbage and Raisins

  • 1 head purple cabbage, chopped or sliced
  • sea salt (a few pinches to start)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 to 3 pats of butter (or more)
  • 1 cup water or broth
  • raisins and Greek yogurt (for garnish)

Put everything (except the raisins and yogurt) in the Instant Pot. Cook on LOW for 3-minutes. Quick release.

Scoop the cabbage into bowls. Add more salt, if needed. Top with raisins and Greek yogurt. 

See? Easy.

Eating Extra Green Cabbage w My Instant Pot

Easy delicious cabbage from the Instant Pot
I talk a lot about my Instant Pot because I love it to bits. It’s been a life-changing kitchen appliance. 

The Instant Pot has made vegetables more prominent in our lives, because it’s so easy to use (i.e., fast!) and super delicious. 

Lately, I’m making a lot of organic green cabbage in my Instant Pot. 

Here’s how easy it is:

  • 1 head organic green cabbage, chopped
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Additional seasonings as desired (maybe turmeric? ground cumin?)
  • Squirt of mustard
  • 2 to 3 pats of grass-fed butter (or more hehe)
  • 1 cup water or broth (add extra if a soupy experience is desired)

Put everything in the Instant Pot and set it to LOW pressure for 3 minutes. Quick release. 

That’s it! Did you hear me? That’s it.

THIS is why I’m eating so many more vegetables … it’s too damn easy! 

With the Instant Pot and this basic recipe, delicious and healthy cabbage is ready in minutes… Ready to serve with a main-dish protein. 

Or, sometimes the cabbage dish is the main star and I toss in some Epic bacon pieces. 

I also jazz it up with Dr. Cowan’s veggie powders to amp up the veggie power. 

Veggie powders for the win.

Oh, and last night I added a 1/4 cup of hemp seeds. Fun texture. 

The possibilities of simply cabbage are endless. Yum Yum Yum!

Cabbage n Eggs n Black Coffee. Mmm mmm mmm.

I find there are days where it seems the only veggies getting served are at dinner.

That’s not cool.

In my attempt to get more veggies in our bellies, I have started adding them more often in breakfast meals. Today, I hit it out of the park with an easy, nutritious, one-skillet breakfast. My whole family was thrilled. I was thrilled. Everything in the world was good.

And… I decided that it’d make a super easy dinner the next time I need a nutritious meal on the table in under 15 minutes.

You know you want some. Trust me, it's easy n delish.

Here’s That Seriously Buttered Purple Cabbage Recipe

Seriously Buttered Purple Cabbage waiting for brisket.
Seriously Buttered Purple Cabbage waiting for brisket.

Some of you want to know how I made that buttered up purple cabbage when I featured it in my Big Ass Brisket recipe.

Brisket and purple cabbage - mmmmmm is all I can say.
Ahhhh, cabbage is happy it’s not alone now.

Well, I’m gonna show you today. It’s easy and makes cabbage delicious. We can all use a bit of extra cabbage in our lives, right?

My mother-in-law taught me how to make it for the most part. She was like, “Cabbage. Butter. Pot. Season. Cover. Cook.” Or something like that.

I first tried it at her house on a New Year’s Day some years ago, when she made the annual black eyed peas (new year health wishes) and cabbage (new year wealth wishes). You southerners know the drill.  It was so good I kept going back for more.

Until I was bloated beyond belief. Cabbage can do that. Black Eyed Peas probably can, too.

Cinnamon Apple Chicken with Buttered Purple Cabbage
Cinnamon Apple Chicken with Buttered Purple Cabbage

My Cinnamon Apple Chicken with Buttered Purple Cabbage is soooo good. It’s comfort, health, ease, and deliciousness all wrapped up in one meal and tied with a bow. Cabbage and apples are a great combo that everyone will love.

Most of my chicken dishes are made in a slow cooker, but once in a while, I want some golden (pasture raised organic) chicken skin to sink my teeth into, such as the gluten free recipe below (and also this staple in our house: Garam Masala Orange Chicken). I buy my pasture raised organic chickens here (also available soy-free, meaning they didn’t feed the chickens any soy). Good Earth Farms is also where we bought our pasture raised turkeys for Thanksgiving and Christmas. A testament to the quality and deliciousness of their poultry was when my mom, who is always extremely(!) honest, exclaimed three times how much she enjoyed the turkey and she’s never been a “turkey” person.
