Instant Pot Coconut Pork with Turmeric Ginger Rice
Ingredients
For the Instant Pot Coconut Pork:
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1/2 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 3 tablespoons freshly grated turmeric
- 2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon cardamom
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup crushed canned tomatoes (or diced tomatoes)
- 1 can (15oz.) light coconut milk (or full fat coconut milk)
- 2.5 pounds boneless pork shoulder cut into 4 to 6 large pieces
- fresh cilantro for garnish
For the Turmeric Ginger Rice:
- 1 cup dry white rice
- 2 cups liquid (water or chicken broth or combination of both)
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated turmeric
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
- 1/3 cup chopped dried fruit (apricots, cherries, cranberries, etc.)
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
Instructions
For the Instant Pot Coconut Pork:
- Set the Instant Pot to sauté mode.
- Add the coconut oil to the Instant Pot.
- Once melted, add the onions and cook for about 5 minutes until softened, stirring a few times.
- Add turmeric, ginger, garlic, cinnamon, cardamom, salt and pepper to the pot and stir until combined. Cook for about 30 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the crushed tomatoes and coconut milk and stir until combined.
- Add the pork, stirring to submerge the pieces in the liquid.
- Place the lid on the Instant Pot, set to the sealing position and press “Meat/Stew” for 30 minutes.
- Let the Instant Pot naturally release.
- Once pressure has released, open the lid, remove the pork pieces to a cutting board and shred. You’ll likely want to remove the visible fat as you do this.
- While you shred the pork, set the Instant Pot to sauté and let the sauce simmer to reduce and thicken.
- Transfer the shredded pork back to the pot, stir to combine and use the “keep warm” setting until ready to serve with the Turmeric Ginger Rice.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro.
For the Turmeric Ginger Rice:
- Add the rice, liquid, turmeric and ginger to a small sauce pot.
- Bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low.
- Cook until all the liquid is absorbed.
- Fluff the rice with a fork and add the dried fruit and nuts to the pot. Stir until combined.
