I have fresh sausage, not precooked. Should I brown the sausage and then cook it with the cabbage for the one minute or add some extra time?
Hi! I’ve seen lots of your recipes floating around IP community on FB, and I’ve marked several to try since everyone is ravig about them. :-). Quick question about the cabbage in this recipe: only 1 minute? When I made cabbage on its own to go with my corned beef I want to say that it cooked for at least 5-7 minutes. I plan on cooking it in Guinness and using kielbasa, but using your method. Suggestions? Many thanks!
Susan
You can always check it after 1 min & add more time. The IP comes back to pressure way faster second time around. If you are at a higher altitude (like me I am at 4800) you may have to cook longer. Hope this helps you or someone else.
I cooked cabbage and sausage 5-7 min and was delish!
Finally a cook who can make something. I made your Sausage & cabbage last night with a few tweaks and it was great. I added caroway seeds & red pepper flakes to it whil cooking & golden paste & cooked rice after it was done. So refreshing to get a good recipe for a change, every clown with a crayon & internet access is posting crap. No matter what its final outcome its supposed to be its almost alway flavorless soupy mush. This include the smantzy cookbook I ordered.
TOG keep on cooking I will be making more of your recipies
Hi Mike~
I am so glad you are enjoying my recipes. Thank you very much. I’ve been using pressure cookers for many years; unfortunately, many people posting recipes lately are very new to pressure cooking. Jill
Just one minute, for sure?
Made tonight with local church supper sausage.
This was delicious, quick, and relatively inexpensive to make. I reduced the fat, down to 1 tablespoon, and it still cooked up delicious.
Thank you!
I am glad you enjoyed the recipe, Lori. Jill
Was very good. Thank you for the recipe
Thanks, Andrew. 🙂 Happy you enjoyed your meal. Jill
This cabbage recipe is, well, beautiful!
At 56 yrs of age, I’ve not enjoyed cabbage quite like this! The acidity of the tomatoes with the fragrant turmeric just made it for me!
I actually left the sausage out bc we do not eat pork, but I replace regular salt with Applewood smoked salt, to make up for the sausage flavor!
Vegetarian/vegan version is awesome!
This will be a staple in my home!!
Thank you!
Delicious! This was the first think I made in my new Instant Pot. Very pleased with your directions.
Thank you, Peggy. Jill
I made this tonight using coconut oil since that’s my oil of preference these days.. The only thing I changed was I added red chili flakes because I love a little spicy. It was delicious! Thank you for this incredibly easy, super fast recipe – BONUS!
So glad you enjoyed. Jill
I wonder about making this with honey garlic Italian sausage.
This is a great recipe! Thank you for sharing it. I used honey garlic Italian sausage and it turned out amazing. I will definitely be making this again.
That sounds fabulous, Lynne. Jill
Nice variation on traditional cabbage and sausage. I added potatoes for a complete meal and Increased time To 3min.
This recipe is one of my favorites. When searching Google for my instant pot recipes I always look for a version from “thisoldgal”. She is always spot on and I know I’ll end up with something delicious. To this one I added a table spoon of Apple Cider Vinegar. The little bit of acidity opens up the other flavors. Check out her yogurt recipe too. I use it weekly and I have never had a bad batch. Thanks!
Saw this recipe today, and since I had all of the ingredients on hand, made it tonight for dinner., it was delicious just as written, 1 minute was perfect! A definite keeper! Thank you!
Thank you, Pam. I am glad you enjoyed this recipe. Jill
Wow! I was given a cabbage a few days ago. I told my friend that I wasn’t really a fan of cabbage but maybe I could find a good recipe for my instant pot. Oh my……………………….I not only found a good one I found one that was out of this world awesome!!!!!
If I want to double the recipe does the cook time change?
This recipe is ridiculously good. Everyone loves it including our children that are not too fond of cabbage. I’ve made this several times in the past year. It was long overdue to review the recipe and say thank you!
Thanks, Rich. Always a plus when the kids are happy with dinner. Jill
Diced tomatoes question for this recipe… is this 1 tomato diced or 1 can of diced tomatoes.. Thanks for clarifying this easy peasy recipe
I haven’t made this yet waiting for a reply. I’m not a good cook and need direction!
Hi Pam. A can of diced tomatoes is perfect. Jill
Oh my goodness Iwas this ever delicious. I added a whole can of fire roasted diced tomatoes and it was perfect. Thank you for this recipe, it was fantastic.
This was so delicious! I simmered it for about 10 minutes on low after following your instructions. I have 2 teenage boys and they loved it too! My husband said, “definitely a keeper!” , just like all the IP recipes I’ve tried of yours. Thanks, Jill! I love your recipes!
Thank you, Kathleen. I am glad you enjoyed this recipe. Jill

This dish is really simple ingredients that taste really good together. Perfect for a winter night supper. Delish!
