Description
Kalua Pork and Cabbage in an Instant Pot is so easy! It just takes a few ingredients, melts in your mouth and tastes like it took hours to make!
Ingredients
- 3 slices Thick Cut Bacon
- 5 pounds Pork Shoulder Or Butt Roast
- 5 cloves Garlic, Peeled
- 1 Tablespoon Kosher Salt
- 1 cup Water
- 1 head Cabbage, Cored And Cut Into 6 Wedges
Preparation
Press the sauté button of your Instant Pot. Fry bacon 3–5 minutes on each side, until nice and brown.
Cut pork shoulder (or butt roast) into 3 pieces and score the fat cap side. Using a paring knife, cut 5 slits in the roast and stuff garlic cloves inside. Sprinkle the salt evenly over all sides of the pork.
Place the roast pieces right on top of the bacon in a single layer. Pour in water. Lock the lid and select the manual button. Cook for 90 minutes on high pressure.
When the roast is done, let the pressure come down naturally. This takes about 15 minutes. Pull the roast out and shred it in a large bowl, bacon, garlic and all.
Pop the cabbage right in the pot with the cooking liquid. Lock the lid and cook on high pressure for 5 minutes. This time, use the quick release valve to bring pressure down quickly.
Grab a bowl, add your pork and cabbage. Enjoy the melt-in-your-mouth goodness.
