Instant Pot Salsa Verde Pork Recipes

INSTANT POT PORK CHILE VERDE (PRESSURE COOKER RECIPE)

Steps:

• Place your roast in the bottom of the Instant Pot.
• Add all remaining ingredients on top of roast.
• Set Instant Pot to manual and cook on high pressure for 30 minutes. Let pressure do a natural release (it will take about 10-15 minutes).
• Remove the roast pieces from the Instant Pot and shred using two forks (it will literally fall apart).
• Add pork back into Instant Pot and mix with all the flavorful liquid.
• Serve on tortillas and topped with pico de gallo, fresh cilantro, shredded cheese, or your favorite toppings.

PRESSURE-COOKED SALSA VERDE PORK AND RICE

Steps:

• Place pork cubes in a medium bowl. Add oregano, cumin, salt, coriander, and pepper and toss to coat meat evenly.
• Rinse rice with cold water through a fine mesh strainer and drain.
• Add 1 teaspoon oil to an oven-safe bowl that will fit inside your pressure cooker. Place rice and salt in the bowl. Add 1 3/4 cups plus 1 tablespoon water and set aside.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a 6-quart electric pressure cooker using the Saute mode on high heat. Cook pork in batches until lightly browned, 5 to 6 minutes per batch. Turn cooker off. Add salsa verde and stir to combine evenly.
• Place a tall trivet inside the pressure cooker for the rice to sit on top of the pork. Place the bowl of uncooked rice on the trivet. Lock the lid and set the valve to 'Seal.' Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 24 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes.
• Unlock and remove the lid. Remove the bowl of rice using oven mitts. Let cool slightly and stir in cilantro and lime juice.
• Set the pressure cooker to Saute mode on medium heat. Cook until sauce is thickened, if desired, 8 to 10 minutes. Divide rice between 6 storage containers; spoon the pork and sauce on top. Refrigerate until ready to eat.

INSTANT POT® CHILE VERDE

Steps:

• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®), select Saute function, and add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add tomatillos, jalapenos, and crushed garlic to the hot oil. Saute, flipping once or twice, until lightly browned, 6 to 7 minutes. (Remove garlic earlier if it browns sooner.)
• Transfer vegetables to the bowl of a food processor and puree with 2 cups chicken broth until smooth.
• Clean and dry the inner pot of the Instant Pot®. Select Saute function and heat remaining olive oil. Add pork, onion, bell pepper, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir and saute, adding more oil if necessary, until pork is browned on all sides and vegetables are soft, 7 to 8 minutes. Cancel Saute function. Pour in remaining chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to loosen any browned bits. Stir in reserved tomatillo puree.
• Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 25 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 10 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Stir in chopped cilantro.
