I've got a 3-3.5 pound bone in pork butt roast I'm doing in the pressure cooker tonight

I'm thinking using cajun spice rub, brown the meat throughly then using apple cider vinegar as the liquid and cooking it up with an onion in the pot with it.

I don't have an apple to add, sadly, but does that sound about right?

Suggestions?

1. IMHO, pork + crockpot = YUMMY, no matter what the heck you do.....

2. i was too lazy this morning to do the crockpot, it's in the pressure cooker now

browned in bacon grease after a good trim and rub with Tony Chachere's Cajun spice blend. Liquid is 2/3 chicken broth and 1/3 apple cider vinegar with 1/2 large onion and pepper on top

it's just shaking away in there.....

4. Mmmmm...sounds yummy! One topping to consider is a glaze.

Try brushing on a mixture of molasses and a sweet red wine like merlot (a ratio not quite twice as much of the molasses to merlot). Wonderful served with thin slices of onion that have been sauteed in a little olive oil/balsamic vinegar until limp and translucent, and/or sweet potato pancakes! :P (had to slip in one more plug for sweet potatoes..lol!)

Of course New Orleans cajun style sounds mighty good on a summer night. I don't have any experience
with it to share, I'm afraid. I'm sure it will be delicious.
Let us know how it turns out!

5. I added some flour and water and the gravy was AWESOME

7. Fabulous! Ooooooo...graaaaaavy....yum!

Sounds like the pressure cook technique was a success! How long did it take to cook?

[NMDemDist2]

8. 10 minutes to brown it, 55 minutes under pressure, 15 minutes to cool down

naturally until the seals released

so about an hour and a half for a 3 pound roast

3. It will be delish

I'd skim the liquid off at the end and reduce it with a little brown sugar and hot chili. Yums!

6. i just added a flour/water mix (like a regular gravy) and it was so yummy

hubby isn't a huge chili fan...

he had a sweet potato and me a regular potato with the gravy

it was awesome!

9. How much vinegar did you use?

I've never made it with vinegar as the liquid. It sounds so good. No water was involved?
:hi:

[NMDemDist2]

10. no, no water. It called for 2 cups of liquid, I used 3/4 cup apple cider vinegar, the rest

chicken broth

it made the best damned gravy too......

11. Oh, that sounds lip smacking

Thanks!
