PRESSURE-COOKER SPICY PORK ROAST WITH APRICOTS
I wanted to create a roast with a slightly sweet taste that would be good for dinner and then sliced for sandwiches the next day. I like to serve this with a country gravy made with some of the juices and pieces of apricot from the roast. -Paulina Parker, Livingston, Texas

PRESSURE COOKER SPICY PORK SHOULDER
You can make this spicy pork in a 6- to 8-quart electric pressure cooker if you're in a hurry, or in a slow cooker if you're not. In either case, you'll get tender bits of meat covered in a chile-flavored barbecue sauce that's just slightly sweet. (You can also make it in a stovetop pressure cooker, by trimming a few minutes off the cooking time. Stovetop pressure cookers tend to cook at a slightly higher pressure, so food cooks more quickly.) Gochujang, a pungent Korean chile paste, and gochugaru, Korean chile flakes, is available at Asian markets and specialty shops, or see the ingredient list for substitutions. Serve the pork over rice or in slider rolls, topped with crunchy pickled sesame cucumbers and a little kimchi, if you want to spice things up. And, while you can make this from start to finish in an afternoon, you can also make this in stages a few days ahead, if that's easier.

Steps:
- To prepare pork, combine garlic, brown sugar, chile flakes, salt and pepper. Rub marinade all over pork. If you have time, cover and refrigerate for 1 hour to up to 24 hours. Otherwise, proceed with recipe.
- Set electric pressure cooker to sauté (or use a large skillet). Add pork in batches and sear until browned all over, about 2 minutes per side. Add 3/4 cup water to pot (or to skillet to deglaze, then move to pot), cover, and set to cook for 90 minutes on high pressure. Or cook in a slow cooker for 5 to 7 hours until tender.
- While pork cooks, prepare sauce: In a small pot, warm peanut oil over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger, and sauté until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a simmer. Cook until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Set sauce aside. (It can be made up to 1 week ahead and stored in the refrigerator.)
- Manually release steam. Let pork cool until you can handle it, then shred it into bite-size pieces. Pork can be made to this point up to 3 days ahead.
- While pork cools, strain liquid from bottom of pot. Pour off fat (or chill liquid, then scoop off solidified fat with a spoon). Reserve.
- Prepare cucumbers: In a small bowl, combine all ingredients except sesame seeds, and let sit, tossing one or twice, for at least 20 minutes. Stir in sesame seeds.
- When ready to serve, heat broiler. Toss pork with sauce and 1 to 2 tablespoons cooking liquid - just enough so pork is evenly coated but not wet or runny. Spread mixture on a rimmed baking sheet, and broil until crisped on top, 2 to 3 minutes; it will char in places, and that's fine.
- Serve pork over rice or on slider rolls, with cucumbers and kimchi, if desired.
Tips:
- Choose a pork shoulder with a good amount of marbling for a more flavorful dish.
- Rub the pork shoulder with the spice mixture at least 30 minutes before cooking to allow the flavors to penetrate.
- Use a variety of chili peppers to achieve the desired level of spiciness.
- Add some liquid smoke to the cooking liquid for a smoky flavor.
- If you don't have a pressure cooker, you can braise the pork shoulder in a slow cooker or in the oven.
Conclusion:
This pressure cooker spicy pork shoulder is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The pork is tender and flavorful, and the sauce is spicy and tangy. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as rice, beans, or tortillas, and enjoy!
