Easy Pressure Cooker Salsa Verde Pork with Rice

01

Step 1

Start by tossing the pork cubes in a bowl with oregano, cumin, salt, coriander, and pepper until the meat is nicely coated. Rinse the rice under cold water using a fine mesh strainer, then let it drain while you prepare the rest.

Step 2

In an oven-safe bowl that fits inside your pressure cooker, add a teaspoon of oil, the rinsed rice, a pinch of salt, and 1 3/4 cups plus a tablespoon of water. Set this aside for now.

Step 3

Turn on your pressure cooker to the sauté setting on high, add 2 tablespoons of oil, and brown the pork in batches, about 5 to 6 minutes per batch. Once all the pork is browned, turn off the sauté mode and stir in the salsa verde, mixing everything together well.

Step 4

Place a tall trivet inside the pressure cooker and set the bowl of rice on top of it. Lock the lid and seal the valve. Cook on high pressure for 24 minutes, allowing about 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build.

Step 5

When the cooking time is up, let the pressure release naturally—it might take anywhere from 10 to 40 minutes. Carefully remove the lid, then take out the rice bowl with oven mitts. Give the rice a gentle stir and mix in some fresh cilantro and lime juice.

Step 6

If you like your sauce thicker, switch the pressure cooker back to sauté mode on medium and cook the pork with the sauce for about 8 to 10 minutes until it reduces to your liking. Divide the rice into containers, spoon the pork and sauce on top, and pop them in the fridge until you’re ready to eat.
