Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1/2 pound boneless pork shoulder butt roast, cubed
  • 1/2 pound fully cooked andouille sausage links, sliced
  • 2 medium tomatoes, seeded and chopped
  • 1 can (15 ounces) hominy, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup minced fresh cilantro
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 4 green onions, chopped
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
  • 6 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • Optional ingredients: corn tortillas, chopped onion, minced fresh cilantro and lime wedges

Directions

  1. Select saute setting on a 6-qt. electric pressure cooker and adjust for medium heat; add oil. When oil is hot, cook and stir cubed pork and sausage until browned; drain. Return all to pressure cooker. Press cancel.
  2. Add next 12 ingredients. Lock lid; close pressure-release valve. Adjust to pressure-cook on high for 10 minutes. Allow pressure to release naturally for 5 minutes, then quick-release any remaining pressure. If desired, serve with tortillas, onion, cilantro and lime wedges.

Test Kitchen tips
  • Canned hominy is dried corn that has been treated and soaked, resulting in a puffy, chewy texture. Look for hominy near the canned beans in the grocery store.
  • Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
