Ingredients (20)

  • 16 oz pork shoulder cut into chunks
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp lime juice
  • 1/2 cup unsalted chicken broth
  • 4 oz red cabbage shredded
  • 2 oz carrots shredded
  • 2 tbsp Japanese mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 1/2 tbsp Heinz ketchup
  • 4 hamburger buns
  • 0.25 oz coriander

INSTRUCTIONS

1

Select the Instant Pot’s “sauteé” mode and heat the 1 tbsp olive oil. Add 16 oz pork and sear it on all sides for a total of 3 minutes.

2

Add 1/4 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp paprika, 1/4 tsp cayenne, 1/4 tsp onion powder, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp brown sugar, and 1 tsp lime juice. Stir for 2 minutes.

3

Add 1/2 cup chicken broth. Close the lid, turn the steam handle to “sealed” position, select the “meat stew” mode, and adjust the timer to 30 minutes.

4

In a large bowl, mix 4 oz shredded red cabbage and 2 oz carrot with 2 tbsp mayonnaise and 1 tbsp Greek yogurt. Cover and preserve in the fridge.

5

Place a piece of kitchen rag onto the steam vent and switch the steam handle to “venting” with a spatula. Use two forks to pull the meat apart.

6

Cook the pulled pork for another 5 minutes on “sauteé” mode or until all the liquid evaporates. Turn off the machine, add 1 1/2 tbsp ketchup, and give it a good mix.

7

Assemble the sliders with burger buns, pulled pork, slaw, and coriander. Add more veggies if desired.
