Equipment

  • Instant Pot or Pressure Cooker

Ingredients

  • 4 slices bacon sliced into pieces
  • 2 pounds ham cubed
  • 1 onion diced
  • ¾ cup chicken broth
  • cup apple cider vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 lbs collard greens chopped. One bag of pre-chopped greens

Instructions

  • Prepare the electric pressure cooker by setting the "saute" function. When the pressure cooker reads “hot,” add the bacon, ham, and onion. Cook, stirring often, for 5 to 6 minutes or until the onion is softened.
  • Deglaze the bottom of the electric pressure cooker pot by adding the chicken broth and scraping the bottom with a wooden spoon.
  • Add the vinegar, brown sugar, and seasonings to the meat and chicken broth. Stir to combine.
  • Top the meat broth with the collard greens. Pack in tightly to fit. (If using a smaller electric pressure cooker, allow the collards to cook uncovered on the saute function until all of the collard greens fit.)
  • Cover the electric pressure cooker, setting the valve to sealing, and program on the "manual" or “pressure cook” function for 6 minutes.
  • When the cook cycle is complete, allow the pressure cooker to naturally release the pressure for 5 minutes before using a quick release to allow the remaining pressure to escape.
  • Remove the lid and stir the contents.

Notes

Make sure you deglaze your Instant Pot well so that you do not get the burn notice.
