Caramelised pepper pork - From WW pressure cooker book

[maddy]

Caramelised Pepper Pork

3 shallots, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 Tbsp. fish sauce
1 Tbsp. coarsley cracked black pepper
800g boneless pork belly, rind removed and chopped coarsley
1 Tbsp. peanut oil
2 Tbsp. dark brown sugar
1/3 cup water
2 spring onions


Combine shallots, garlic, sauce, pepper & pork in bowl.
heat oil in a 6 lt. Pressure cooker.  cook pork mix in batches until browned, then remove.
return pork to cooker with sugar, cook stirring until sugar Caramelises.
Add water, and secure lid.
(electric cooker)  - set for 20 minutes, high pressure and forget.
(stove cooker) - Bring cooker to high pressure, reduce heat to stabilise pressure, cook 20 minutes.
Release pressure, and serve sprinkled with chopped spring onions, with rice or noodles/veg off choice.

I did double the sauce ingredients, as my pork belly was 1.2 kg.  I did have to thicken sauce up at the end, so I removed pork and placed in thermoserve, and used the brown function to reduce it down.

I think Julie O mentioned to make double, and I definitely would double the pork amount & sauce to stretch it out for 4 ( with rice or noodles as well)

the flavour was beautiful!

Help please!!!!

I bought a 6.5L Silit pressure cooker yesterday, have used it three times and love it to bits already.

Now my instruction manual says to always use a minimum 375ml of liquid. Is this more than other brands? How could I go about this recipe when the water is only 80ml plus a little bit of sauce?

I hadn't seen a pressure cooker in action until I pulled it out and gave it a go yesterday, so I'm a complete novice and still a little bit cautious!

Berry, this was one of the first things I made with my pc and followed the instructions to a T.  I think you will be okay to do so too.  I'm not familiar with your brand pc, but I think they are all basically the same.

Good luck and don't forget to come back and let us know how it turned out.  The pc is my most used thing in the kitchen at present.

Hi Berry
Have just checked my recipe book for my Tefal Pressure cooker and under the golden rules for pressure cooking it says that the minimum quantity of liquid required for normal cooking is 250ml for the first 1/4 hour cooking. For each additional 1/4 hour or part of 1/4 hour, add a further 150ml of liquid.  Could you make more of the sauce.  Hope this helps

Berry i bought the same PC on Sunday and loving it. which colour did you get? I got the red.

[Berry]

Thanks guys!  I guess it's like anything, and confidence will come with experience.

Julie, the first thing I made was the sticky pork ribs thanks to your wonderful review! And I made the beef and barley soup yesterday too, just loving it!

Wonder I got boring old black, they had one red one there but it was the display model and I wasn't prepared to wait!! I'm stuck at work now and all I want to do is get home and play with it some more!
