A flavorful and easy-to-make carnitas recipe using a pressure cooker for tender and crispy pork.
Cut the pork shoulder into large chunks and place them in the pressure cooker.
Cutting the pork into chunks helps it cook evenly and absorb flavors better.
Add the onion, garlic, cumin, oregano, paprika, orange juice, and chicken broth to the pressure cooker.
Mix the ingredients well to ensure the pork is evenly coated with the spices.
Seal the pressure cooker and cook on high pressure for 40 minutes.
Ensure the pressure cooker has enough liquid to prevent burning.
Release the pressure according to the manufacturer's instructions and carefully open the lid.
Use a towel or oven mitt to protect your hands from the steam.
Remove the pork from the cooker and shred it using two forks.
Shredding the pork while it's warm makes the process easier.
Place the shredded pork on a roasting pan and broil in the oven for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add some of the cooking liquid to the pork before broiling to keep it moist.
Serve the crispy pork carnitas with your favorite sides and toppings.
Warm tortillas and fresh toppings like pico de gallo enhance the dish.
