BAJA PORK CHOPS (PRESSURE COOKER)



Baja Pork Chops (Pressure Cooker) image

A quick and tasty one pot meal! The original recipe comes from the Pressured Cook and includes Sweet Potatoes, however I've found it very difficult to keep from over cooking the sweet potatoes so substituted red potatoes. Also made some other changes to the recipe to 'kick it up a notch'. Total time includes marinading the pork chops.

Categories     Pork

Time 2h35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 cup bottled chili sauce
2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard or 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 chipotle pepper, seeded and minced (optional)
1 tablespoon adobo sauce (chipotle pepper sauce) (optional)
1 tablespoon maple syrup or 1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 lbs boneless pork chops, cut into 1 inch cubes
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups onions, coarsely chopped
2 large green peppers, seeded and diced (I prefer poblanos)
1/2 cup water
salt & freshly ground black pepper
2 lbs red potatoes, cut into 2 inch chunks (see note above about sweet potatoes)

Steps:

  • Blend together chili sauce, mustard, worcestershire and maple syrup.

  • Place in refrigerator and marinade for 2-5 hours.
  • Heat oil in the pressure cooker.
  • Cook the onions, stirring frequently for 2 minutes.
  • Add the peppers and cook for another minute.
  • Stir in the water; stirring to dissolve the browned bits in the pan.
  • If using sweet potatoes put 4 thin slices of sweet potatoes in the broth (they cook down and will become the thickener). The balance of the sweet potatoes should be cut into 2 inch pieces and placed on top of the meat.
  • Transfer the pork plus any unabsorbed marinade to the cooker.
  • DO NOT STIR.
  • Set the remaining potatoes on top.
  • Lock the lid in place.
  • Over high heat bring to high pressure.
  • Reduce the heat just enough to maintain high pressure and cook for 12 minues.
  • (Note: If using sweet potatoes, cook the pork on high pressure for 8 minutes and then add the sweet potatoes; cooking an additional 4 minutes).
  • Use the manufactures quick-release method.
  • Remove the lid (tilting away from you to alllow excess steam to escape) and test both the pork and potatoes for doneness; returning to high pressure if additional cooking is necessary.
  • If using red potatoes, thickening the sauce may be necessary.

PRESSURE COOKER BBQ PULLED PORK



Pressure Cooker BBQ Pulled Pork image

A pressure cooker provides a nifty shortcut to perfect pulled pork. This recipe calls for braising the meat in a dark soda like Dr Pepper or Coca-Cola, and the results are lush and tender - savory, slightly sweet and tangy. Once the pork is done, you can customize it to your taste using your favorite barbecue and hot sauces. Adding lots of black pepper and a few dashes of Southern-style hot sauce, like Crystal, Louisiana or Tabasco, is a very good idea. Like many braises, the pork improves overnight and can be cooked up to three days in advance; shred and warm it gently on the stovetop before tossing it with sauce and serving. The pork makes satisfying sandwiches on soft rolls (try coleslaw as a topping), but it could also be used in tacos or served over grits. (You can find the slow-cooker version of this recipe here.)

Categories     dinner, lunch, meat, main course

Time 2h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
2 teaspoons hot or sweet smoked paprika
2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon black pepper, plus more to taste
3 to 4 pounds boneless pork shoulder, trimmed of skin and excess fat and cut into 4 large chunks
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 (12-ounce) can dark soda, like Dr Pepper, root beer, cola or birch beer
1/2 to 1 1/2 cups homemade or store-bought barbecue sauce
Hot sauce (optional)

Steps:

  • Mix the garlic and onion powders, smoked paprika, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add the pork and turn to coat in the spice mix. Put the oil in a 6- or 8-quart electric pressure cooker and turn on the sauté setting to warm the oil. (Use the "normal" heat setting if your pressure cooker has that option.) Working in batches, add the pork and brown on two sides, about 2 minutes per side. If the bottom of the pan gets too dark or you get a "hot" or "burn" warning, turn the heat down to "less," if your pot has that option, or turn it off entirely and allow the pork to continue searing. Turn it back on if the pot cools too much.
  • Add the onion to the pot. Add the soda and stir to thoroughly scrape up the browned bits at the bottom of the pot. Close the lid and cook on high pressure for one hour. Turn off the pressure cooker and allow the pressure to release naturally for 15 minutes. Open the lid. Using tongs or a slotted spoon, remove the pork and onion bits to a large serving bowl. Using two forks, coarsely shred the meat. Add 1/2 cup barbecue sauce and a few spoonfuls of the cooking liquid to moisten. (Discard remaining cooking liquid.) Taste and add salt, pepper, hot sauce, and more barbecue sauce as you like. Serve with soft rolls and extra sauce on the side.
