CHILE VERDE PULLED PORK

This tender and juicy pork is cooked in a tomatillo sauce that is bursting with spicy and sweet citrus flavors. The Instant Pot cooks this Mexican favorite fast, while still retaining the slow cooked flavor.


2lbs (1kg) pork shoulder, cut into 6 equal-sized pieces

1 tsp fine grind sea salt

12 tsp ground black pepper

2 jalapeño peppers, seeded and stemmed

1lb (450g) tomatillos, husks removed and quartered

3 garlic cloves

1 medium white onion, chopped

1 tsp ground cumin

12 tsp dried oregano

1 tbsp lime juice

3 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped

123 cups chicken broth

112 tbsp olive oil

1 Season the pork cuts with the salt and pepper. Gently rub the seasonings into the pork cuts. Set aside.

2 Combine the jalapeños, tomatillos, garlic cloves, onions, cumin, oregano, lime juice, cilantro, and chicken broth in a blender. Pulse until ingredients are well combined. Set aside.

3 Select Sauté (Normal) and add the olive oil to the pot. Once the oil is hot, add the pork cuts and sear for 3–4 minutes per side or until browned.

4 Pour the simmer sauce over the pork and lightly stir to coat the cuts in the sauce.

5 Cover, lock the lid, and flip the steam release handle to the sealing position. Select Pressure Cook (High) and set the cook time for 55 minutes.

6 When the cook time is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes and then quick release the remaining pressure.

7 Open the lid. Transfer the pork cuts to a cutting board and use two forks to shred the pork.

8 Transfer the shredded pork back to the pot and stir to combine the pork with the sauce. Transfer to a serving platter. Serve warm.

tip This is wonderful served over cauliflower rice or in romaine lettuce shells for keto-style tacos.
