Easy Pressure Cooker Cabbage Stew
You may not be able to tell by looking at me but I am a total nerd when it comes to cooking. I called my husband absolutely hysterical that organic cabbage was on sale for .49 cents a pound. And when I got a pressure cooker for a gift (thanks mom!), the mad scientist inside me relished in delight. I'm normally not into many kitchen gadgets, but the usefulness of the pressure cooker more than makes up for the lump of counter and shelf space it requires. I'm still diving into all the functions it has but so far I love it.
Sometimes I craze a super simple, in both preparation and taste, dinner. I love this stew because it is a 'meat and potatoes' kind of dish. Nothing fancy, but so delicious. The pressure cooker gets the cabbage super tender; even our 10 month old was chowing down. If you don't have a pressure cooker, see the notes on how to do it in a slow cooker.
Enjoy!

Notes and Substitutions
If you do not have a pressure cooker, you can do this in the slow cooker for 6-8 hours on low.
To stretch this even further, serve over rice.
My husband does not like his with sauerkraut so it’s up to you!
I found a "clean" kielbasa without additives and nitrates at Sprouts, check your labels.
