1 tsp pink Himalayan salt
¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
Plug in the instant pot and press the ‘’Sauté’’ button. Add olive oil and heat up.
Add chopped onions and crushed garlic. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until translucent.
Now add broccoli and cauliflower. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and pour in the vegetable broth. Optionally, add one cup of water and seal the lid.
