Instant Pot cabbage rolls

Here's a simple and delicious Instant Pot cabbage rolls recipe for you:

Ingredients:

• 1 medium-sized head of cabbage
• 1 pound ground beef (or a mix of ground beef and pork)
• 1 cup cooked rice
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 can (14 ounces) tomato sauce
• 1 can (14 ounces) diced tomatoes
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cabbage: Remove the core of the cabbage and carefully separate the leaves. Place the leaves in a pot of boiling water and cook for about 5-7 minutes or until they're softened. Remove the leaves and set them aside to cool.

2. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, cooked rice, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

3. Fill the Cabbage Leaves: Take a cabbage leaf and place a small amount of the filling in the centre. Roll the leaf, tucking in the sides as you go, to form a neat roll. Repeat with the remaining leaves and filling.

4. Prepare the Instant Pot: Turn on the Instant Pot and set it to "Sauté" mode. Add olive oil and allow it to heat up.

5. Sauté the Cabbage Rolls: Carefully place the cabbage rolls in the Instant Pot and sauté them for a couple of minutes on each side or until they're lightly browned.

6. Add Sauce: In a bowl, mix together the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Pour this mixture over the cabbage rolls in the Instant Pot.

7. Cook in the Instant Pot: Close the Instant Pot lid and set it to "Pressure Cook" or "Manual" mode for 10 minutes.

8. Natural Release and Serve: Once the cooking time is complete, allow for a natural release of pressure for about 10 minutes, then carefully release any remaining pressure.

9. Serve: Carefully remove the cabbage rolls from the Instant Pot and place them on a serving platter. Spoon some of the sauce over the rolls and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!

This recipe should yield approximately 10-12 cabbage rolls, depending on the size of the cabbage leaves and the amount of filling you use for each roll. Adjust the ingredients and proportions as needed based on your preferences.
