Time 1h55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

4 cups chopped cauliflower
2 cups filtered water
1 medium onion, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 (2 pound) pork shoulder roast
1 teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 (8 ounce) package sliced portobello mushrooms

Steps:

Place cauliflower, water, onion, celery, and garlic in the bottom of a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Place pork roast on top and season with salt and pepper. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 60 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Transfer pork to a baking dish and transfer cooked vegetables and broth to a blender.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Bake pork in the preheated oven while you prepare the gravy, allowing the fat to render and edges to crisp up.
Cover the blender and hold lid down with a potholder; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend vegetables until smooth.
Turn the Instant Pot® to the Saute function. Add coconut oil and mushrooms and cook until soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour in blended vegetables and continue to cook until gravy has thickened, 5 to 7 minutes.
Remove pork from the oven and shred with two forks. Serve with mushroom gravy.

Tips:

Choose a pork roast that is at least 3 pounds, and make sure it is well-trimmed of excess fat.
Sear the pork roast in a hot skillet before cooking it in the Instant Pot. This will help to develop flavor and prevent the meat from drying out.
Use a flavorful liquid to cook the pork roast, such as chicken broth, apple cider, or beer. This will help to add moisture and flavor to the meat.
Add vegetables and herbs to the Instant Pot along with the pork roast. This will help to create a delicious and nutritious meal.
Cook the pork roast on high pressure for the amount of time specified in the recipe. Once the cooking time is complete, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes before opening the lid.

Cooking pork roast in the Instant Pot is a quick and easy way to prepare a delicious and flavorful meal. By following the tips above, you can ensure that your pork roast turns out perfectly every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give Instant Pot pork roast a try.
