  Pork Chili Verde Prepared in an Instant Pot Ingredients: 3 lb. boneless sirloin roast 4 Carrots 1 onion 4 minced garlic cloves 28 Oz (1 can) enchilada sauce ¼ cup water 2 jalapeno pepper 1 cup minced fresh cilantro   I haven’t cooked this type of dish before; I’ve always made beef tacos whenever I am craving some Mexican food. I saw this recipe in a book, and I decided to try something different; plus it seemed easy to make. It turned out delicious, however it wasn’t as spicy as I expected. So I had to put some Tapatio sauce on my tacos. I hope you guys enjoy it 😊 1.      Select Sauté on the Instant Pot (high heat). Heat 3 tbs of oil and  sauté,  in batches, the pork,  onion, carrots and garlic until browned. 2.        Add enchilada sauce, water, jalapenos, and cilantro          3.  Lock the lid and pressure cook on Manual setting for 30 min. When finish cooking, allow  pressure to naturally release.      4.      Serve as tacos or over rise. Enjoy!

Italian wedding soup Prepared with love from “Chef” Desi on March 8 th , 2021 Since beginning of Covid-19, I end up spending more time at home.
