INSTANT POT PORK AND CABBAGE RECIPES

Steps:

• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Once hot, add oil and pork pieces. Cook until meat is browned, about 5 minutes. Add onion and cook until soft and translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Mix in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add water, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper, and bay leaf; mix to combine. Turn off Saute mode.
• Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 15 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes. Remove pork to a medium bowl and keep hot. Pour out half of the liquid and reserve.
• Turn on Saute mode again. Stir tapioca starch into remaining hot liquid in the pot to create a slurry. Cook until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Add in reserved liquid if sauce is too thick, 2 tablespoons at a time, or until desired consistency is achieved.

Steps:

• Season roast with salt and pepper.
• Set your Instant Pot to the Sauté setting. When display reads "hot", melt the butter or ghee, and brown the roast on all sides.
• Remove the roast from the cooker and add onions, garlic, and broth. Scrape brown bits from the bottom of the pot.
• Return roast to the Instant Pot. Using the Manual setting, adjust to high pressure and set to cook for 45 minutes.
• When time is up, use the quick release method to release pressure and quickly add sauerkraut and apples to the cooker.
• Bring back to full pressure for 5 minutes and again use the quick release method.
• Slice and serve with sauce. Enjoy!
