Pulled pork di spalla con Instant Pot

Ingredienti

• 3-4 pound pork shoulder
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin

Preparazione

1. 1

   Cut meat into 3 large chunks. If the pork shoulder has the rind attached, carefully remove this with a sharp knife.

2. 2

   Add vegetable oil to the Instant Pot, and turn on the SAUTE setting. Add the pork shoulder chunks. Saute for about 5 minutes, and turn the pork pieces to brown all sides evenly.

3. 3

   Remove the pork shoulder from the pot. Add water or chicken stock to the Instant Pot, and use a wooden spoon to scrape the bottom. Make sure nothing is stuck to the pot.

4. 4

   Add the meat back to the pot, and top with seasoning.

5. 5

   Turn off the saute function. Seal the lid on the Instant Pot, and turn on the PRESSURE COOK or MANUAL setting for 45 minutes. The pressure cooker will take about 5-10 minutes to get to pressure before the timer starts counting down.

6. 6

   Remove the cooked pork shoulder from the Instant Pot. Shred the meat with two forks.

7. 7

   Strain the liquid from the Instant Pot. This will remove any chunks of fat from the liquid. Discard the fat, and add the liquid back to the pot.

8. 8

   Add the shredded meat back to the pot. The liquid will make the meat more juicy. Add any other seasoning or sauces to taste.

9. 9

   Serve the pulled pork immediately.
