Instructions
For the Pulled Pork
- First we are going to mix in a bowl all the ingredients for the meat marinade. When the mixture is ready, we paint the meat with it. And let it rest for at least half an hour. If we have time we can leave it for hours, even overnight. This way it will have much more flavor.
- Meanwhile, we are going to peel the onion, cut it into strips.
- In a pressure cooker, put a splash of oil. When it is hot, put the meat and let it brown on all sides. Once the meat is seared on all sides, remove it and set aside.
- In the same pot, we are going to brown a little the onion until it starts to become transparent. Add the meat again, and add the liter of chicken broth. If it is not enough to cover the meat, add water.
- In pressure cooker, fast cooker: we are going to close it and cook for 50 minutes. After this time, remove the cooker from the heat and let it depressurize completely before opening it. In normal pot: Put the lid on and bring to boil. Cook the meat between 5 and 7 hours since it starts to boil, at medium-low heat. After this time, check that the meat is so tender that it falls apart. If not, cook longer.
- When we have the meat ready, with the help of a knife and a fork we are going to crumble it. But we will not cut the meat, but we will be tearing pieces so that it falls apart by itself. In the meantime, the broth left in the pot is left on the fire to reduce.
- When we have finished shredding the meat, put it in a wide frying pan and add a little of the broth where we had cooked it. Cook until the broth has evaporated, just enough so that it does not drip, but the meat is still very juicy.
- Then add a little barbecue sauce, to taste, and cook again for another 5 minutes. Once the meat is ready, let's assemble the sandwich.
