Instant Pot Shredded Mojo Pork

This meal is simple ingredients, that when combined together make for a super scrumptious meal.

We’re pressure cooking this pork roast with citrus juices and some lots of garlic, and a touch of smoky flavor from the ground cumin. This combo will really flavor up the pork.

Once it’s finished in the Instant Pot, you can shred the pork meat into the sauce and serve over rice and beans!

This reminds of the types of meals we enjoyed during our 6 years in the Dominican Republic – it takes me right back to the Caribbean!

Hope you enjoy!!
