Instructions
Peel & smash the garlic cloves and slice the onion. Add them to your instant pot & cover with the pork shoulder.
Add the juice of the orange & limes and sprinkle in the spices and ghee. Add more or less ghee, depending on the amount of fat on the pork shoulder.
Close & seal the lid of the instant pot and set it to slow cook on medium heat for 8 hours.
Once time has expired, allow the Instant Pot to release on it’s own. Shred the meat with a fork and remove the bay leaves & bones.
When you’re ready to eat add some pork & the juices to a hot skillet. Cook over medium heat until the juices have reduced & the pork is crispy. Enjoy!
