This recipe offers a convenient and satisfying meal solution that's easy on the wallet. A flavorful pork shoulder, cooked in a pressure cooker, ensures maximum tenderness with minimal effort. A well-marbled pork shoulder is seasoned simply with salt and pepper, then seared until it develops a rich, golden-brown crust.
This searing process locks in the juices and adds depth of flavor to the final dish. After searing, fragrant garlic and thinly sliced onions are sautéed in the same pot, creating an aromatic foundation for the braising liquid. The pot is deglazed with chicken broth and a touch of soy sauce (or coconut aminos for a soy-free alternative), lifting up the browned bits from the bottom and infusing the sauce with even more flavor.
The seared pork shoulder is then returned to the pot, along with a bay leaf, and pressure cooked until it reaches a state of ultimate tenderness. The meat becomes so tender that it effortlessly pulls apart, practically melting in your mouth. The result is a deeply flavorful, succulent pork that is both comforting and satisfying.
This flavorful pork shoulder is served alongside sautéed yellow zucchini, cooked in olive oil until tender-crisp. The zucchini provides a light and refreshing counterpoint to the richness of the pork. A side of creamy, ripe avocados adds a luxurious touch, providing healthy fats and a smooth, velvety texture that complements the other components of the meal.
This recipe is designed to be filling and satisfying, easily providing enough for two generous servings. When possible, choose high-quality pork from a local source. Look for a well-marbled cut of pork shoulder for the best flavor and texture.
For those who desire more calories, feel free to increase the amount of olive oil used for sautéing the vegetables and add additional avocado.
