@soonaert: My husband’s birthday dinner request never changes… it’s homemade carnitas!! If you think carnitas have to cook all day, this Instant Pot version might change your mind. While the pork was pressure cooking, I made homemade salsa verde and Mexican rice, then finished the carnitas under the broiler for those irresistible crispy edges. It’s one of our favorite meals to make and eat, and leftovers are just as delicious 🔥😉 Instant Pot Carnitas Ingredients * 2 lb pork shoulder * 2 tbsp ground cumin * 1 tbsp dried oregano * ½ tbsp garlic powder * ½ tbsp paprika * ½ tbsp Salt * 1 orange, quartered * 1 onion, quartered Directions 1. Pat the pork dry and rub it all over with the cumin, oregano, garlic powder, paprika, and salt. 2. Set the Instant Pot to Sauté mode and sear the pork on all sides until browned. 3. Add the quartered orange and onion to the pot. 4. Pressure cook on High Pressure for 1 hour, then allow the pressure to release naturally for about 15 minutes before shredding. 5. Spread the shredded pork on a baking sheet and broil for 8-10 minutes until the edges are crispy. 6. Serve with your favorite sides! We served ours with Mexican rice and salsa verde 💚 This one is always worth the extra time!!! #carnitas #instantpotrecipes #mexicanfood #homecooking #EasyRecipes familydinner dinnerideas foodcreator comfortfood weeknightdinner fromscratch homechef @Instant Pot @mortonsalt @Better Than Bouillon @Ninja Kitchen
