INGREDIENTS

  • 2kg boneless pork shoulder
  • 10 grams salt
  • 5 grams dried oregano
  • 4 grams ground cumin
  • 2 grams ground black pepper
  • (optional – leave out for kids)1 gram ground chilli or 1 or 20 grams of blended chipotle in adobo sauce  (Preferred)
  • 1 gram paprika
  • 30 ml olive oil or lard
  • 250ml orange juice OR Juice of an Orange and the Zest + beef stock 250mls
  • 1 onion, coarsely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, diced

DIRECTIONS

  1. Trim pork of excess fat, cut into 2-inch cubes and transfer to a bowl. Save skin if available.
  2. Combine salt, oregano, cumin, black pepper, chile powder, zest and paprika together in a bowl with the fat or oil.
  3. Rub pork cubes with the spice mixture and place in the pressure cooker. Cover pork cubes with orange juice, onion, and garlic.
  4. Place lid on pressure cooker and lock; bring to full pressure until the pork is no longer pink in the centre, about 40 minutes on high pressure (electric pressure cooker – high is 13 psi for me). Let pressure come down naturally, about 15 minutes.
  5. Remove pork from the pressure cooker.

    OPTION 1

  6. Line a baking tray with tin foil and preheat the grill.
  7. Place the meat on the tray and under the grill to get a crispy top (you may need to add some more oil or lard to get this going nicely.

    OPTION 2

  8. Preheat some oil or lard in the cast iron pan, fry the meat on one side to get a nice crust.
  9. We are aiming for crispy one side and soft the other side. Pull the meat until you are happy with the size for wraps.
  10. Serve on wraps or tacos with something fresh (lettuce or coleslaw), squeeze of lime and a Chipotle Mayonnaise or Sour Cream.
