Pressure-Cooked Salsa Verde Pork and Rice image

Make weekly meal prep a breeze with this pressure cooker pork and rice. This recipe uses the Pot-in-Pot (PIP) method, which cooks the pork and rice in separate bowls at the same time. The pork turns out so tender! I like to freeze individual servings and take one out the night before. Top with queso fresco or sour cream when ready to serve.
