Wet pork stew (PC)

This is a variation on the Ecuadorian pork stew; Seco de chancho (Dry Pork), which I have adapted for a pressure cooker. I have used a selection of Mexican spices and herbs which gives the recipe lots of flavour but is not particularly hot.

This would be a pretty good guide for general pork stew pressure cooker recipe. However, try varying the spices and herbs to suit your own tastes. Unlike the original, this stew is not dry and has lots of sauce.
