Pressure Cooker Bourbon Pulled Pork Burgers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This recipe is one of my all-time favorites – it is not too difficult to make and the tenderness and depth of flavor will make a burger as you have never tasted before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pressure cooker is a great way to make large quantities of pulled pork for a crowd, and even more, if have multiple pressure cookers. If you need to know just how much-pulled pork is for a big group of 30 people<\/a>, use our online calculator of How Much Pulled Pork Per Person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Normally it takes all day to make a pulled pork recipe, but in the instant pot, you will have the meat done in about 1 hour and served up about 20-30 minutes later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Pulled Pork?<\/strong>
Pulled pork is built on barbecued pork shoulder, but here we show you how to do it in a pressure cooker. After cooking the meat is shredded by hand and mixed back in with the sauce it was cooked in.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pulled pork can easily be eating on its own or served with almost any side you like – we have chosen to make a burger and fries -and man did it taste good. 
This dish really is a must-try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key Spices for Pulled Pork<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bourbon<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to cooking with liquor, bourbon is one of the best. Its caramel and vanilla flavor adds a unique flavor dishes. It partners particularly well with brown sugar, ham, and pork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maple syrup<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Made from the sap of the maple tree, this delicious syrup adds something extra meat dishes especially bacon, ham, and pork dishes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chipotle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Chipotle in this dish can become your new secret weapon if you just give ’em a chance! No other Mexican ingredient can impact your home cooking the way chipotles can. They will complement the bourbon and maple syrup. So do not skip on this ingredient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get All Your Ingredients Ready<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

 It really does help to get organized by getting all your ingredients measured and organized first. 
Why – because when you have never made a recipe before – having all your ingredients ready means that you can firstly check them off against the recipe before you start so that nothing is missing. 
Secondly – as you are moving through the cooking steps it lets you focus on the dish preparation rather than jumping around looking for or preparing a missed item.<\/p>\n\n\n

Prepare the Pork<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We got our pork with skin on – so first we carefully removed the skin with a sharp knife.
The next step was using some string we tied the pork back into a round roll.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"browned

Searing the Pork<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Now set the instant pot to “high” temp on the saute button – add a little oil to the pot and sear the pork on each side till you get a brown color.
Doing this traps the juices and keeps the meat moist and tender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preparing the Garlic<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I really like the depth of flavor that garlic can add -and a key to that is having the garlic prepared well.
Here we use a meat tenderizer to crush the garlic so that maximum flavor is released.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saute the Onion<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Now with the instant pot set to high saute temperature – cook out the onion till it starts to change color to a clear to brown look. 
In this image, we had some fatty pork that was going to be no good for eating.
However, the fat of the meat always has great flavor – so cooking it as we saute the onions helps to add a nice depth of flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prepare the Sauce for Cooking <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We have finished our saute of the onions and meat browning – so the next step is to add all the ingredients to the instant pot.
Mix them well and also do not forget to deglaze the bottom of the pot by adding in the passata and apple cider vinegar first with the pot still on saute.  Use a wooden spoon to scrape off all the little bits of brown caramelized food on the bottom of the pot.
We are also keeping the pork fat in for the pressure cooking to extract maximum flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pour the Sauce mix over the Pork<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Now Before putting the lid on – pour the sauce liberally over the pork meat to enhance the flavor.
Finally, put the lid on and cook for 60 minutes under pressure and allow 10 minutes for natural pressure relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pulling the Pork<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

My favorite part – pulling the pork – because I usually eat a few bits!
After the meat has been standing for at least 5 minutes – get some tongs and a fork and pull apart the pork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sauce Thickening<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Now if your sauce is still too runny even after reducing it as per the recipe you can still thicken it up using this tip.
Take about 1 tablespoon of cornstarch (cornflour) and mix it with about 3 tablespoons of water – mix it well so that there are no lumps.
Then with the Instant Pot switched back onto high and the sauce mix boiling – add the cornstarch mix slowly while stirring well. Keep stirring for at least 2 minutes after adding the thickening mixture so that you cook out the cornstarch – else you will taste it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now the Fun Starts<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

My mouth is watering.  Put the pulled pork back into the instant pot and mix it all around to get the sauce through the meat.
At this stage hopefully, your slaw is prepared – your buns are ready and the french fries just about finished.
You are ready to plate up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plated Pulled Pork Burgers<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Now with the bourbon, maple syrup, and chipotle just to name a few – you have the most tender amazing tasting pulled pork.
I just loved this dish – and I am going to see if I can have it made again for my anniversary!!!!<\/p>\n\n\n

    Instructions<\/h3>

    • Pot in the pork and cook on each side to brown and sear the meet – keeping in the juices.\u00a0 This will take up 8-10 mins<\/div><\/li>
    • Get a large bowl, jug or similar and with a thick or fork mix the paste, stock, bourbon, mustard, chipotle, vinegar, maple syrup, thyme and bay leaves so that it mixes well.<\/div><\/li>

    • Put in the rest of the oil to the instant pot and saute the onion until it starts to go clear.<\/div><\/li>
    • Next add the mixture to deglaze the bottom on the pot. Stir with a wooden spoon if necessary to remove any brown caramelised bits of food from the pot bottom. These are really tasty and will add to the flavour of the dish.<\/div><\/li>
    • Now pour in the rest of the mixture and gently put in the pork – make sure you spoon the liquid over the pork.<\/div><\/li>
