Vegetarian Unstuffed Cabbage Rolls (Instant Pot Recipe)

I grew up eating Halupki, also known as Pigs in the Blanket or Cabbage Rolls. I love the taste but never want to put in the effort to make them. The version I grew up on was made with beef and rice. Nowadays, I’d prefer to eat less meat so I’ve come up with tasty vegetarian version that can be done in the Instant Pot. I hope you enjoy! Let me know if you try it.
