Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Set your Instant Pot to SAUTE mode, and let it heat up. Add diced salt pork or bacon along with the diced onion. Sauté for about 5–7 minutes, until the pork begins to crisp and the onions become translucent.
  2. Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Once the bottom is clean, cancel the SAUTE function.
  3. Stir in the white vinegar, then pack in the collard greens until the pot is about two-thirds full.
  4. Secure the lid on your Instant Pot, ensure the valve is set to SEALING, select HIGH PRESSURE, and set the timer for 10 minutes.
  5. When the timer goes off, perform a quick release by turning the valve to VENTING, then remove the lid.
  6. Give the collard greens a stir, taste and season with salt and pepper to your liking, then serve.

Notes

Rinse collard greens to remove grit and consider swapping salt pork with smoked turkey for a leaner option. Leftovers can be stored for up to 4 days.
