MOLE BBQ SAUCE RECIPES

Steps:

• Add Sauce Mixture ingredients to the pot and whisk to combine. Add ribs and toss to coat.
• Secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed.
• Using the display panel select the MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK function*. Use the +/- keys and program the Instant Pot for 8 minutes.
• When the time is up, let the pressure naturally release for 15 minutes, then quick-release the remaining pressure.
• Carefully remove the ribs from the pot to a large bowl and cover loosely with foil, reserving juices.
• Strain cooking liquid to remove solids (press solids to extract as much flavor as possible). Discard solids.
• Use a fat separator or spoon to skim fat from the liquid mixture. Discard fat.
• Return braising liquid to the pot. Select the SAUTE function and adjust to MORE or HIGH. Cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced to a glaze, about 2 1/2 cups (20-25 minutes).
• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Set a wire rack over a foil-lined, rimmed baking sheet. Pour 1/2 cup water in baking sheet (helps to prevent smoking).
• Coat half the ribs in the glaze and arrange on the rack, bone-side up. Roast 5-7 minutes, then flip and roast an additional 5-7 minutes until well-caramelized. Transfer to serving dish and repeat with remaining ribs.
• Serve, passing remaining glaze as a dipping sauce.

Steps:

• In a small bowl combine the Spice Mixture ingredients and use to season both sides of the pork chops.
• Add olive oil to the Instant Pot. Using the display panel select the SAUTÉ function.
• When oil gets hot, brown the meat on both sides, 3-4 minutes per side. Meat will not be cooked through. Do not crowd the pot--you may have to work in batches. Transfer browned meat to a shallow dish and cover loosely with foil.
• Add broth to the pot and deglaze by using a wooden spoon to scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pot.
• Put the meat back into to the pot.
• Turn the pot off by selecting CANCEL , then secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed.
• Using the display panel select the MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK function*. Use the +/- keys and program the Instant Pot for 7 minutes and adjust to LOW PRESSURE.
• When the time is up, let the pressure naturally release for 10 minutes, then quick-release the remaining pressure.
• Remove the pork chops to a foil-lined baking sheet and brush with bbq sauce. Set the pan under the broiler until meat is caramelized and bubbly, 3-4 minutes. Serve immediately.
