Ingredients
- 1 large head broccoli
- ½ cup chicken stock or water
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cut the broccoli into florets and rinse well.
- Place the broccoli in the Instant Pot liner and add the chicken stock.
- Place the lid on the Instant Pot and set to sealing.
- 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.
- When the Instant Pot beeps, carefully release the pressure and remove the lid.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the broccoli from the pot to a serving dish and season with salt and pepper.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
This produces broccoli that is tender-crisp. We recommend using fresh broccoli - we have not tested this with frozen.
Using chicken stock adds a bit of flavor to the broccoli. You may use any variety of stock or broth you like, or just use water.
Squeeze a lemon over the cooked broccoli or melt a pad of butter over the top for extra flavor.
