It's SRC time again! Each month, as part of the Secret Recipe Club, we're assigned another blogger, and we get to pick a recipe from their blog to make. This month, I got Terri at Our Good Life. Looking through her archives, I found several recipes I wanted to make - Pasta with Zucchini, Lemon, and Basil, Oat Congee with Fried Egg and Scallions (similar to this Savory Oatmeal), and Impossible Quiche all stuck out. Especially the Impossible Quiche - what a fun and challenging name! However, in the end, I chose her Slow Cooker Mojo Pork and adapted it to my pressure cooker. Definitely enjoying my decision! A scrumptiously savory aroma burst out of the pressure cooker as soon as I opened it, and the flavors were perfectly melded together! I served this Pressure Cooker Mojo Pork on rice. You could also use it in tacos (or taquitos), burritos, or just straight out of the pot! :)
Do you prefer using a slow cooker or a pressure cooker?

I've never used a pressure cooker before, but I hear they are a fantastic addition to the kitchen arsenal. Smart choice for this month's SRC.
ReplyDeleteThey sure are! Makes cooking so much faster. :)
DeleteYour recipe looks delicious! I need to give it a try!
ReplyDeleteIt's delicious because I got it from you. :)
DeleteLove slow cooker recipes.
ReplyDeleteTry this one as a slow cooker recipe - it works there too! :)
DeleteI have used a pressure cooker for canning but have never made a meal in one. Mine is pretty large so I don't know if it would work for a small dinner. This mojo sounds fabulous though.
ReplyDeleteI used a 6 quart one. As long as you have enough liquid covering the bottom, I think you should be good. I might have to try canning with mine next! :)
DeleteThe flavors sound yummy. I only use my pressure cooker for fresh green beans.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you can try this in your pressure cooker. :) I've never made green beans in a pressure cooker, but maybe I need to give it a try!
DeleteI haven't used a pressure cooker before, but I'm always on the lookout for great boston butt recipes. Thanks for sharing on the Waste Less Wednesday Blog Hop!
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy it! You could also make this recipe in a slow cooker. :)
DeleteWhat brand pressure cooker do you use? Is it electric or stove top?
ReplyDeleteI've bought a couple and returned both.
This pork sounds fantastic!
Thanks

I have a Nesco (an older version of this one - http://amzn.to/2eLpr5l). It's an electric, and I really like it. :) This pork was delicious!
DeleteI've never used a pressure cooker - I'm intimidated by them!! The recipes looks fabulous! Thanks for sharing on the What’s for Dinner link up and don’t forget to leave a comment at the party – Next week’s features that also leave a comment get pinned, yummed and tweeted!
ReplyDeleteI was for the longest time too! Of course the safety vents help too. :) Hope you can give this recipe a try!
DeleteI use to use my pressure cooker all the time. I used it so much, it died. I never replaced it but have often thought about getting a new one. Your mojo pork looks yummy.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing at Over The Moon Party,
Bev
Maybe this can be your motivation to get another one! This mojo pork was delicious. :)
