ingredients

3 ¹⁄₄ lbs pork shoulder, cut into 2-inch cubes
⁷⁄₈ cup chicken stock (or more if your pressure cooker has a higher minimum liquid amount)
4 garlic cloves, crushed
1 onion, chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 orange, juice from
salt and pepper

directions

Mix cubed pork with all ingredients except stock. Allow to marinate for 20 minutes.
Add everything to the pressure cooker and cook at pressure for 30 minutes, then allow 15 minute natural release.
Remove the meat and spread out on a foil-lined baking dish (lasagna pan, something with sides so juice won't run off). Drizzle with a few tbsp of the cooking liquid and broil 5 minutes, then flip the meat cubes, drizzle again and broil another 5 minutes.
Eat in tacos, burritos, scrambled eggs, etc.
