Heidi's Cabbage Stew


Chop:

  • 1lb potatoes, small dice
  • 2 onions
  • 4 large carrots
  • 2 celery stalks
  • 1 head cabbage

Meat:

  • 1 pound fresh ground pork, or Jimmy Dean sausage
    - OR -
  • 1 to 1-1/4lb kielbasa, smoked sausage, bratwurst, polish sausage etc.

Seasonings: To taste.  

  • 4-6 garlic cloves or 1 tbsp granulated garlic
  • 2 tsp chicken bouillon
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Pepper
  • 3 tbsp Basil*
  • 3 tbsp Oregano*
  • 3 tbsp Parsley*
  • 1/4 tsp Cumin*
  • 1/4 tsp Coriander* 
  • 1/4 tsp Paprika* 
  • 1/2 tsp Sage*
  • 1 tsp Thyme*
  • 1 tsp Rosemary*
  • 1/4 tsp Tumeric
  • 1 large bay leaf

Liquid: 

  • 4 cups of water or chicken broth

  1. Brown the sausage in the Instant Pot using the saute function.  Deglaze thoroughly. using the chicken broth or water.   
  2. Throw all the remaining items in the Instant Pot starting with the root vegetables (carrots, potatoes, onions) and ending with the celery and cabbage. Cook at High pressure for 4 minutes.


    Note:  
  • Items with a star can be replaced with 1/4-1/2tsp Italian seasoning mix
  • The cabbage will give off a good amount of water (close to two cups I'd wager), so if you don't want "soup" you could cut the liquid back as far as to 1 cup if needed, but then it would stop being "stew" or "soup" and would instead just be a bunch of steamed vegetables with sausage.
