Yield 4 servings
Prep Time 5 minutes
Time to Pressrue 5 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 large head broccoli
  • ½ cup chicken stock or water
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cut the broccoli into florets and rinse well.
  2. Place the broccoli in the Instant Pot liner and add the chicken stock.
  3. Place the lid on the Instant Pot and set to sealing. 
  4. Cook on high pressure for zero minutes. It will take about 5 minutes for the pot to come to pressure, during which time the broccoli will perfectly cook.
  5. When the Instant Pot beeps, carefully release the pressure and remove the lid.
  6. Use a slotted spoon to remove the broccoli from the pot to a serving dish and season with salt and pepper.
  7. Serve immediately.

Notes

This produces broccoli that is tender-crisp. We recommend using fresh broccoli - we have not tested this with frozen.

Squeeze a lemon over the cooked broccoli or melt a pad of butter over the top for extra flavor.
