Truth is, I’m not as planned as my wife would like… dare I say it, I’m pretty last minute. (ad) That’s why I appreciate the Crock-Pot® 6 QT Express Pressure Cooker… a rice bowl bails me out, when I’ve run out of time!
I love that a pulled pork shoulder that normally takes over 6 hours, is fall apart tender and delicious in just 90 minutes! The browning setting allows all the potent aromas and flavours to develop and create a meal you’ll be proud to serve!
I’ve developed a #CrockPotRecipe , served it over a rice bowl and loaded it with a variety of fresh veggies to create an incredibly flavourful meal, the whole family will enjoy!
Crock-Pot® Express is going to make my preparation for Holiday Entertaining quicker & easier! I think it might even be time to make my turkey stock!
Ingredients

Preparation
Season the Pork pieces with the dry rub set aside.
Turn your Crock Pot Express Crock to Brown/Sauté and press Start/Stop.
Add the olive oil and allow it to get hot. Add the onions & ginger and sauté for 2 minutes.
Add 2 pieces of the pork and brown all sides well (1 ½ minutes per side). Remove the browned pork from the Crock and place the remaining 2 pieces in (brown all sides).
Remove the pork; add the red curry paste & garlic, sauté for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, Kaffir lime leaves and vegetable stock. Add the pork into the liquid and submerge.
Put the lid on the Express Crock, Lock it & turn the Steam Release Valve to Seal.
Set the Meat/Stew to High and adjust the time to 1:30. Press Start/Stop.
Once the cooking has completed, allow pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes. Remove lid and shred pork with 2 forks. Skim excess fat from the top of the cooking liquid. Season to taste with salt & pepper. Stir to combine.
Serve over hot rice with some cooking liquid and all the fresh vegetables.
