Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Preheat the Instant Pot with a little oil or butter on Saute (to sear the pork)
  2. Sprinkle the pork chunks with the cumin, rubbing it in.
  3. Add the onion and stir for 1 minute
  4. Add the pork and saute quickly for about 2 minutes.
  5. Stir in the Salsa Verde, the can of chopped chillis, and the remaining cumin (Not the cilantro).
  6. If there is not enough liquid in the pot to reach sufficient pressure, add water.
  7. Cover-seal the pot. Set to high pressure for 20 minutes. Turn off the Keep Warm setting.
  8. Once the pot is done, let it naturally decrease in pressure for about 15-20 minutes. Then finish the depressurization by using the release knob.
  9. Stir in the cilantro, if using it.
  10. The pork can be either: A) Drained & moved to a separate bowl for shredding and serving in flour tortillas with sour cream & shredded cheese; B) Or it can be left “chunky” and served over rice with black beans/refried beans, etc. The chunky version also works well in a flour tortilla but will need a knife and fork to eat.
