Why is kale good for you?

I’m a spinach or romaine fan but kale has many health benefits and has been deemed a superfood. Kale is loaded with antioxidants such as quercetin and kaempferol. It is an excellent source of vitamin c and vitamin k. It can also help lower cholesterol, which will reduce the risk of heart disease.

What Instant Pot is the best?

I have the Instant Pot Duo 6 QT Electric Pressure Cooker . You can find it on Amazon. I'm not sponsored by them, it just a kitchen appliance I really like to use. Gotta love those muti-cookers! The Instant Pot Duo multi-cooker combines 7 appliances in one: pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, steamer, sauté pan, yogurt maker and warmer – and cooks up to 70% faster!

Instructions

Set a 6-qt Instant Pot® to the saute setting. Add olive oil and sausage. Cook until sausage is lightly browned and crumbled, about 6-8 minutes, making sure to crumble the sausage as it cooks; drain excess fat.
Add garlic and onion. Cook, stirring frequently until onions have become translucent, about 2-3 minutes. (You might have to hit the saute setting more than once.
Add the potatoes and chicken broth to the pot then season with salt and pepper, to taste. (The sausage has a lot of salt already so you might not need to add in any extra)
Select manual setting; and set the timer for 5 minutes. Set the vent to sealing. When finished cooking, quick-release pressure according to the manufacturer’s directions.
Stir in kale until wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Add in milk until heated through, about 1 minute; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Serve immediately.
