Kalua Pig

Pressure Cooker. From Nom Nom Paleo.

Ingredients

• 3 bacon slices
• 5 lb bone-in pork shoulder roast
• 5 peeled garlic cloves
• 1½ Tbsp Alaea Red Hawaiian coarse sea salt or Magic Mushroom Powder (or ~1 Tbsp Alaea Red Hawaiian fine sea salt)
• 1 cup water
• 1 cabbage, cored and cut into 6 wedges

Method

Cut pork into smaller pieces. Slice into the pork and insert garlic cloves into the holes. Use ¾ tsp of medium-coarse salt per pound of meat (half that for fine-grained salt).

Cook bacon in the Instant Pot first. Place pork on top and add 1 cup of water (less if smaller than 5 lbs). Cook ~85 minutes on high.

For cabbage: after pressure is released, remove the pork, then add cabbage wedges and cook 2–5 minutes on high.
