Pulled Pork with dry rub

Do you own an Instant Pot by chance? We do…my husband likes to buy things with the thought that we’ll use it a ton… -_- we don’t.

Today was my first time using it and since I’m leaving for a few weeks I wanted to leave him with some food (hence why I made the red beans and rice and this pulled pork)…I’m pretty sure he hasn’t cooked anything in almost two months.

This also means this will be my last recipe until I return from my travels, so from here on out, I will post about my adventures in Japan! 😀

Pulled Pork
Ingredients
3-5 lbs of pork shoulder Seasoning, combine together 1 tablespoon chili powder 1 tablespoon salt 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon pepper 1 teaspoon cumin 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon 1/4 cup of oil (vegetable or olive) 1 onion, roughly chopped 4-6 garlic cloves, roughly chopped Chicken stock, enough to cover the meat
Directions
Rub the meat with the seasoning and put in the fridge for 4-24 hours Turn Instant Pot on and select “saute”, pour in the oil and let it heat up Add the pork and sear each side (approximately 3 minutes) Toss in onion, garlic, and chicken stock Cover, lock, and close your seal Turn Instant Pot to Meat/Stew, Pressure high, and set to 90 minutes Take meat out, shred, or do whatever, but you’re done
Notes
After the pork is cooked shred and toss with BBQ sauce Serve it plain with salad I topped mine with jalapeno garlic aioli (the garlic aioli recipe with jalapeno added)
