I love the Serious Eats website and I particularly love their Asian cookbook. Of all the chefs on that site, I particularly follow Kenji Lopez-Alt’s recipes because they seem to be brimming with flavor. Today I decided to make his Instant Pot Mexican Pork Stew recipe. I’m not the best at following recipes, but this is one of those no-recipe recipes that just involves the right ingredients dumped into an Instant Pot, the sauce blended, the pork put back into it. I cut down the roast size for this Mexican stew recipe. I bought a 2.8 pound roast and took about one pound out to make something else with, so this is a 1.5 pound recipe. This Instant Pot Pork Chile Verde was so super-tasty. The pork is fall-apart tender and it’s easily one of the most flavorful Chile Verde recipes I’ve ever made. Not only is this Mexican Pork Stew crazy delicious, but it’s crazy easy as well.
