Pressure cooker pork chile rosso

This is sort of based on a recipe from Serious Eats but works around the lack of range of chilli peppers or tomatillos in the UK by making an almost not entirely different dish!

Ingredients:

  • 6 vine tomatoes, cut into eigths
  • 2 red chillis, seeds and white flesh removed and finely chopped (use four if you like food with some spice)
  • 1 onion, peeled and finely chopped
  • 4 cloves of garlic, peeled and finely chopped
  • 1600g boned pork shoulder, cut into 2 inch slices
  • 2 tsp fish sauce
  • 2 tsp toasted (or cooked in the microwave for 2 minutes) cumin seeds
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • a good pinch of salt
  • a good sized bunch of fresh coriander, finely chopped

Method:

  1. Add all the ingredients apart from the fresh coriander to a pressure cooker, with the tomatoes first.
  2. Put the lid on and cook at high pressure for 30 minutes.
  3. Release the pressure and wait for the pressure cooker to be ready to be opened.
  4. Remove the slices/chunks of meat from the pressure cooker and place to one side.
  5. Use a stick blender or food processor to make a smooth paste from the remaining ingredients in the pressure cooker.
  6. Re-add the pork chunks to the smooth sauce.
  7. Serve with rice and with the fresh coriander as a garnish.
Serves 5 to 6.
