Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork shoulder, cut into chunks

- 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.
