Christopher Kimball's Ethiopian Pulled Pork Instant Pot Recipe

Asked Nov 05, 2020 by Carol K.

I was listening to a Milk Street Podcast and Christopher was talking about a pulled pork dish that he makes frequently in an instant pot. It had pork shoulder, onions, and about a half of a cup of not too spicy seasonings. Does this sound familiar to any of you? Thanks.

    Hi Lynn C.,

    First off, great name! LOL

    Second-I am cooking the Ethiopian stew right now with a fabulous pork shoulder roast I cubed up and I have what looks like some really good pork fat I trimmed off. Is there anything I can do with it? I hate throwing it away.

    Thanks!

    Lynn

      Hi Lynn - Same to you! :-)

      You can render down the pork fat into lard. It's quite simple to do and you can store it in the fridge for up to 6 months. Just melt it down over low heat on the stovetop then strain out any delicious cracklings (these can be added to salad, stew, beans or just eaten as a snack), and pour into a glass jar with an air-tight seal. You can use the lard to sauté in place of oil, keeping in mind that it will add some pork flavor to whatever you're cooking. Best, Lynn
