Slow Cooker Instructions
If you have more time, this recipe can also be done in a slow cooker. You can skip the saute step and just place the pork, salsa, and water in a crock pot. Cook on LOW for 4 to 6 hours, or until tender.
Recipe Notes
If your pork roast is over 2 pounds, adjust the cooking time accordingly (approximately 12 minutes per pound on HIGH pressure).
Brown the pork in batches if necessary.
Add 1-2 tablespoons of cornstarch to the sauce if you like the sauce a little thicker.
Optional to garnish with a fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.
