PRESSURE COOKER PULLED PORK WITH ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS AND CHEESE GRITS

Steps:

• For the pulled pork: Heat an electric pressure cooker on the saute mode. When hot, add the olive oil. Add half of the pork along with 1 tablespoon of the salt, 1 teaspoon of the chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon of the garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon of the onion powder. Saute until the meat a little browned, about 10 minutes. Set the meat aside on a plate. Add the remaining meat, salt, and chili powder, garlic powder and onion powder and cook until the meat browned, another 10 minutes.
• Add the first half of the meat back to the pressure cooker. Add the garlic and onions and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Pour in the chicken stock. Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on manual for 40 minutes.
• After the pressure-cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for natural release. After 15 minutes, release the rest of the steam using quick release.
• Remove the lid from the pressure cooker. Remove the pork and onions to a baking sheet. Shred the pork with 2 forks, pour the barbecue sauce over the top and toss to coat. Serve.
• If not serving right away, transfer to a 9-by-13-inch disposable aluminum pan, cover with foil and keep warm in the oven at 300 degrees F until ready to serve.
• For the Brussels sprouts: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Trim/clean the Brussels sprouts, then cut them in half. Arrange on 2 baking sheets and toss with the olive oil and some salt and pepper. Roast until brown, about 35 minutes.
• For the cheese grits: Bring the chicken stock to a boil in a saucepan. Slowly stir in the grits. Return to a boil and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Turn down the heat and stir in the pepper jack, Cheddar, mascarpone, heavy cream and butter. Season with the salt. Cook for another 3 to 4 minutes. Keep warm until ready to serve.
