Directions
- 1
Season the pork shoulder with crushed garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and a splash of vinegar. Let it rest for 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- 2
Heat the oil in the pressure cooker over medium heat. Sauté the garlic and onion until golden and fragrant.
- 3
Add the pork and sear on all sides until browned. Stir in the diced tomato, bay leaves, and smoked sausage, then lock the lid securely.
- 4
Once pressure builds, reduce the heat to low and cook for 25 minutes.
- 5
Carefully release the pressure, add the potato rounds, stir to combine, and seal the lid again.
- 6
Cook under pressure for another 5 minutes. Top with fresh chopped cilantro and serve immediately.
💡 Chef's Tip
For deeper, richer flavor, marinate the pork overnight in the refrigerator with all the spices and vinegar before cooking.
