Directions
Rinse lentils. Place all ingredients, except greens, in the Instant Pot (6 or 8 quart) and pressure cook on manual for 10 minutes. Let pressure release naturally. (takes about 45 - 50 minutes to release) Once pressure releases, open and add greens and stir. Let sit 5 - 10 minutes for greens to wilt.
If you don't have a digital pressure cooker you can use the stove top. I imagine it would take about 45 - 60 minutes to cook the veggies and lentils. But I have not tested it, so you're gonna have to wing it. When done, add the greens to wilt.
Serving Size: Makes approx. 8 2 cup servings
Note: I no longer use salt in my cooking, so you may need to add to taste.
