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.
-
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!
-
maddy, it's yum isn't it? I have made this recipe lots of times and it's always a winner.
-
Maddy my book came :)

That's fantastic Hally, you must be so excited after all the waiting.

Yes, I rang the post office, they said there was a parcel in from fishpond, jumped into the car straight away, dropped everything & went through book. Have a few recipes earmarked for next week
Am doing the butter chicken this week, managed to find all the ingredients in the house. Only difference I am cutting up a chicken.

Do you think this would work with pork fillet? I don't like fat so wouldn't like pork belly.
-
Margaret I am not a fat lover either but I love pork belly. I don't know how it turns out in the pc (the picture doesn't look fatty though) but when I cook one as a roast, I do it in a slow oven for a few hours, upping the temp at the end to crisp the crackling and all that fat between the layers renders away. Believe me, if I can eat pork belly anyone with an adversion to fat can too but it's the cooking method that is the secret.

With this Recip MEP, all the fat is cut off.
I'm not quite sure cooking time with fillet ??? I guess cubed it should be fine, perhaps maybe a little less time. If the pork is cooked quickly, just scoop out, keep warm, and simmer the sauce to thicken.
-
Thanks Judy and Maddy. I haven't never bought pork belly because of the fat but thought there's layers of fat in between the meat and the rind? The recipe says to remove the rind, I just thought maybe only the rind was removed and the fat remained? Will take a good look at pork belly next time I'm at the shops. The dish looks delish as Maddy has cooked it.
Thanks again for your helpful advice :)

We are having this for tea tonight but I'm a little worried about the amount of pepper with the kids, I've left instructions with DH to only use 1 tsp of pepper. how have others found it heat wise?
-
Had this for dinner last night with fried rice and it was loved by all, a definite winner. I only used the 800kgs of pork as that was how much was left from the ribs I bought after removing the rind an a few bones from each of them. DH made it according to the recipe but did double the sauce ingredients as i thought we might like a bit more sauce. I ended up taking the meat out at the end of the cooking time and reducing the mixture for about 10 mins. We also only used only a teaspoon of pepper instead of the tablespoon and found it had a little bit of heat but not enough that the kids were turned off.

Made this for dinner the other night. Used pork medallions, only had 800g of pork. Flavour awesome. The meat was so tender in the pc. 10/10 from us. There are some good recipes in this book :)

I have this book - I'll have to try this recipe! The chickpea and lentil soup recipe is fabulous.,, it's the first one. I add chicken thigh fillets.
