For a tasty dinner in a pinch, try this Instant cuban pork shoulder, adapted from Eating in an Instant's Instant Pot Cuban Pork recipe.
Recipe:
- Add 1 fresh squeezed lime juice to Instant Pot
- Add 1/2 cup of orange juice to Instant Pot and lime juice (I added a small splash more for good measure).
- Add 6 cloves of minced garlic to the juices and mix.
- Add thawed pork shoulder/butt roast to the Instant pot with the juice and garlic.
- Season the roast with cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper on all sides.
- Add either 1/2 cup of turkey (or chicken) broth or water to the pot (broth is more nourishing and flavorful, but water works, too).
- Close lid and set valve to seal. Cook on high pressure for 45 minutes.
- On the stove, prepare your favorite rice according to its instructions, then add a squeeze of fresh lime and some chopped cilantro (optional - to taste) before serving.
- When roast is finished, release valve pressure and use forks to shred.
- Top with juice from the pot and serve with rice, salsa, guacamole, hot sauce, and tortilla chips for a tasty supper delight! :)
