Carnitas In The Pressure Cooker - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 lbs. Pork butt/shoulder cut into 1 lb. chunks
2 c.\t Beef or pork broth or water, I use broths leftover from previous meals
1 c.\t Large onion, peeled & quartered
3 tsp. each of salt, pepper, Mexican oregano
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 c. fresh cilantro, washed & stems removed

Preparation

Brown pork in an iron skillet (use any skillet if no iron skillet is not available). Place broth, onion, spices, cilantro and pork in a 6-quart pressure cooker. Bring pot to heat so that regulator rocks gently. Cook for 55 minutes, set aside and let cool for 20 minutes. Remove pork and hand shred into a container or airtight bag. Strain broth through a fine sieve and freeze for use later in soups, casseroles, etc Broth will be very condensed so you will need to add water before you use it.

Serve pork carnitas in a corn tortilla with tomatillo salsa, avocado or your favorite ingredients or just eat plain.
