Instructions

Mix salt, pepper, garlic, chili powder, and granulated onion* &rub spice mixture on cuts of pork

Select SAUTE mode on your instant pot

When the display reads HOT, add butter, oil and pork pieces to the cooking pot of you pressure cooker

Sauté pork for approx. 3-4 minutes on each side

Select CANCEL on instant pot and pour in the chicken stock, pineapple, Worcestershire, lime juice, maple syrup, and jalapeno*

Making sure the sealing ring is properly placed in the lid, close the lid, and vent to sealing.

Set IP to 70 minutes on MANUAL High pressure

When cooking completes, allow a full NPR by keeping lid and vent closed. (this should take approx. 15 minutes)

Using a hand mixer or large forks, gently shred pork; picking out any large pieces of fat you may find.

On toasted rolls or mini rolls( I like to use King’s Hawaiian Rolls with melted butter and sesame seeds on the top of the rolls), glaze a thin layer of your favorite bbq sauce and top with a scoop of shredded pork. Add cabbage slaw, cheddar, and/or grilled pineapple slices and ENJOY!

For the Cabbage Slaw:

In a blender, mix the spices, lime, jalapeno, mayo & sour cream. Pour over shredded cabbage and allow to chill in the fridge while the pork cooks.

Notes

You can use a bone-in shoulder (butcher will gladly take it out for you, though). Cook in same liquid measurements but for 90 minutes (for 3 pounds)
