Instant-Pot Carnitas

Ingredients for Instant-Pot Carnitas

• 1 (900g [907 g]) pastured pork loin

• 240ml (240 ml) water

• 1 orange, sliced in half

• 1 fresh jalapeño, whole

• 1 large red onion, diced

• 2 teaspoons (10 g) sea salt

• 1 teaspoon (2 g) cumin

• 1 teaspoon (2 g) onion powder

• 1 teaspoon (2 g) garlic powder

• 1/2 teaspoons black pepper

• 1 teaspoon (1 g) dried parsley

• 1 teaspoon (2 g) paprika

• Handful fresh coriander

• To serve: Coriander, diced tomato, onion and jalapeño slices

Place all of the ingredients into the stainless steel bowl of your Instant Pot, squeezing the juice from the orange halves before placing them into the bowl. Secure the lid, close off the pressure valve and press the Meat/Stew button. Now press the “+” button until 40 minutes is displayed. Allow the cooking cycle to complete, and then allow the pressure to release slowly. Remove the lid when safe to do so and use two forks to shred the pork. You may need to adjust the cooking time if the weight of your meat varies. Serve with more fresh coriander, diced tomato, onion and jalapeño slices if desired.
