Kalua Pork has never been so fast and easy! This Instant Pot Kalua Pork is ready in under two hours and is pure pork heaven. Great on it’s own or in a variety of dishes. 

 

A few years ago on our 10th wedding anniversary, we celebrated in Hawaii. Neither of us had ever been and I don’t know why we waited so long! It was a blast. We were also sans kiddos so that made things super relaxing. We spent hours on the beach with mai tai’s in hand. It was glorious.

INGREDIENTS

Ingredients:

  • 4 1/2 - 5 pound bone in or boneless pork shoulder
  • 10 cloves garlic chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Alaea Hawaiian Sea Salt or other sea salt
  • 3 slices thick cut bacon
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 head cabbage cut into wedges

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Cut several little slits in the pork shoulder. Stuff chopped garlic in the slits.
  • Rub salt all over pork.
  • Turn the Instant Pot to saute mode. Cook bacon until just starts to brown.
  • Switch to pressure mode. Place the prepared pork shoulder on top of the bacon, pour water around the sides. Cover and seal. Set pressure for 90 minutes.
  • Once the pork has finished do a natural release for 20 minutes. Transfer pork to a bowl.
  • Place the cabbage wedges in the pressure cooker. Cover and seal. Set pressure for 3 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, use two forks to shred the pork.
  • To serve, place cabbage wedges on the bottom of a serving platter and spoon pork over the top. Drizzle with some of the juice left in the instant pot if desired.
