Ingredients (Simple & Healthy Instant Pot Curried Greens)

• 1 large bag of precut greens (we like to use several kinds: mustard, collard, turnip, etc.).
• 1 can coconut milk
• 2 cups of water
• 1 TBSP ginger powder
• 1 tsp minced onion
• 1 TBSP of onion powder
• 2 tsp curry powder
• 1 TBSP of garlic powder
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 TBSP Himalayan or Sea salt (adjust to taste)

Directions (Simple & Healthy Instant Pot Curried Greens)

Add the first three ingredients into the instant pot. You can press the greens down to fit more into the instant pot as they will shrink when cooked.

Now add the garlic cloves and minced onion and stir.

Next lock the lid in place and set the valve to “sealing”. Press the “pressure cook” key and adjust to “high pressure”. Set the timer to 30 minutes. It may take about 10 minutes to come to pressure.

After the 30 minutes are up, manually release the steam valve. Be careful, it will be very hot, and some water may sputter out. Once the steam releases and the valve floats down, you can open the Instant Pot. If you’re not in a hurry, allow the Instant Pot to release the pressure naturally. This will take an additional 20 using the NPR (natural pressure release).

Finally, give the greens a stir. Add remaining ingredients. Adjust flavor as needed, adding more salt or curry powder for intense flavor. Serve along with pinto beans, wild rice, and cornbread and enjoy!

Quotes from the Spirit of Prophecy (Ellen White)

The great backsliding upon health reform is because unwise minds have handled it and carried it to such extremes that it has disgusted in place of converting people to it. I have been where these radical ideas have been carried out. Vegetables prepared with only water, and everything else in like manner. This kind of cookery is health deform, and there are some minds so constituted that they will accept anything that bears the features of rigorous diet or reform of any kind. { CD 212.1} (Ellen White, Counsels on Diet and Foods, page 212, paragraph 1)

Vegetables should be made palatable with a little milk or cream, or something equivalent. { CD 207.3} (Ellen White, Counsels on Diet and Foods, page 207, paragraph 3)

***For health reasons we no longer use animal milk. Coconut milk is an ‘equivalent’ and is considered a neutral fruit like olives; and since you are just using the juice, it can be used with vegetables.***

Jeremiah 17:8

For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
