Pork Carnitas

Have I mentioned that I LOVE this pressure cooker! It really is awesome for fast healthy meals! This pork was so tender, juicy and yummy for tacos, nachos, burritos or a salad!

4-5 lb pork butt/shoulder 
1 onion in chunks 
4 fresh garlic cloves smashed (not cut up)
1 cup orange juice
Juice of 2 limes
2 tsp chili pepper
2 tsp cumin
2 tsp oregano
1 tbsp olive oil 
Himalayan salt and pepper
1/4 cup water

1. Cut pork into large approx 2 inch chunks. 
2. Heat pressure cooker and add oil. Brown meat with onion and garlic. 
3. Add spices, juice and water to cooker. If you have a bone, add that too. Seal cooker and set to meat setting for 35 minutes. 
4. Follow instructions for your cooker. When done allow steam to exit and remove bone. The broth is also great to drizzle meat with when serving! 

Enjoy!
