INSTANT POT BROCCOLI RECIPES RECIPES

Steps:

• Cut broccoli into florets.
• Pour 1 cup of water into the Instant Pot inner pot. Add a steamer basket to the pot.
• Place broccoli florets in the steamer basket.
• Close the Instant Pot lid and set the steam release valve to the sealing position.
• For crisp-tender broccoli, set the pressure cook time to 0 minutes at high pressure. (If your Instant Pot will not allow you to set a 0 minute cook time, you can set it to pressure cook for 1 minute and then cancel the cooking cycle as soon as the pot reaches pressure. Then immediately quick release.)For softer broccoli, set the pressure cook time to 1 minute at high pressure.
• The Instant Pot will take about 10 minutes to reach pressure and then the cook time will begin. As soon as the cook time ends, quick release the pressure by carefully moving the valve to the venting position.
• Once all of the steam has escaped and the pin drops down, immediately open the pot (to prevent over-cooking). Serve broccoli with salt, pepper, and other toppings, as desired.

Steps:

• Add butter to the Instant Pot. Using the display panel select the SAUTE function.
• When butter has melted, add broccoli florets in an even layer and cook without stirring for 5-7 minutes or until browned on the bottom.
• Add broth to the pot and deglaze by using a wooden spoon to scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pot.
• Add the remainder of the Pot Mixture ingredients and stir to combine.
• Turn the pot off by selecting CANCEL, then secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed.
• Using the display panel select the MANUAL function*. Use the +/- keys and program the Instant Pot for 2 minutes.
• When the time is up, let the pressure naturally release for 10 minutes, then quick-release the remaining pressure.
• Use an immersion blender to process until smooth.
• Add cheese in 1/2 cup increments stirring between each addition until melted.
• Add hot sauce to taste (optional). Serve warm.
