Ingredients
- ½ head of a very large cabbage (chopped (or use one medium cabbage))

- 4 garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 bell peppers (chopped)
- 2 celery stalks (sliced)
- 2-3 large carrots (chopped/halved)
- 6 stems of thyme (leaves removed or use 2 tsp of dried)

Method

- Proceed to saute the onion, garlic and ginger until soft and translucent.
- Add the bell peppers and celery and cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Sprinkle in the seasoning - parsley, black pepper and parsley.
- Stir in the chopped tomatoes and add a small amount of the cajun seasoning (do this in stages so you get the right level of heat/spiciness).
- Add the cabbage, bay leaves and pour in the vegetable broth.
- Bring the pot to a rolling boil and reduce to medium/low heat and simmer for 30-40 minutes (add more vegetable stock if needed).
- During that time, add some cajun seasoning (to your preference and pink salt if needed)
- Remove the bay leaves if possible.
- Turn on the instant pot and select “saute”
- When the inner pot is hot add the olive oil and butter then proceed to saute the onion, ginger and garlic until translucent.
- Add the carrot, bell peppers and celery and continue to cook for 1-2 minutes
- Add the seasoning black pepper some of the cajun seasoning, parsley and thyme.
- Finally add the cabbage, bay leaves and vegetable broth.
- "Cancel" the “saute” setting
- Place the lid on the pressure cooker and set the steam release knob to the “sealing” position
- Press the “pressure cook” button and adjust the +/- to 10 minutes (it will take several minutes to reach maximum pressure)
- Once cooked leave the lid on and allow the pressure to release for 10 minutes before turning the knob to “venting” to rid any excess build up of pressure
- Add more cajun seasoning to taste and pink salt if needed
- Remove the bay leaves prior to serving
