Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Set your Instant Pot to SAUTE mode and add diced salt pork or bacon. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until crispy and golden brown. Then, toss in the diced onion and sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes.
Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to lift the browned bits. Cancel the SAUTE mode.
Add the white vinegar and pack in the collard greens, filling the Instant Pot about two-thirds full.
Lock the lid and set the valve to SEALING. Cook on HIGH PRESSURE for 10 minutes.
Perform a quick release by turning the valve to VENTING when the 10 minutes are up. Be cautious of steam!
Stir the collard greens and season with additional salt and pepper as needed before serving.
