Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork shoulder, cut into chunks
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions
- Turn on the pressure cooker and select the sauté function. Add the olive oil and heat it up.
- Add the pork chunks to the pressure cooker and brown them on all sides for about 5 minutes. Remove the pork from the pressure cooker and set it aside.
- Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pressure cooker. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic becomes aromatic, about 2 minutes.
- Return the pork to the pressure cooker and add the chicken broth, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together.
- Close the pressure cooker lid and set the valve to the sealing position. Cook on high pressure for 40 minutes.
- Once the cooking time is complete, do a quick release of the pressure by carefully turning the valve to the venting position. Be cautious as hot steam will be released.
- Open the pressure cooker lid and transfer the pork to a plate.
- Select the sauté function again and bring the sauce to a simmer. In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until smooth. Add the cornstarch mixture to the sauce and cook until thickened, stirring constantly.
- Turn off the pressure cooker and stir in the heavy cream. Return the pork to the pressure cooker and coat it with the creamy sauce.
- Serve the pressure cooker pork in creamy sauce over rice or pasta. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
