Instant Pot Kalua Pork (AIP)

Kalua Pork has been around for a long time, most often with just a few ingredients. Many of the modern recipes call for liquid smoke, but we have replace that with smoked sea salt to add a smokey flavor to the dish. The dish comes from Hawaii where traditionally a whole pig is cooked outdoors in a pit. We opted for the trusty Instant Pot! It cooks the pork tender and shreddable in just 90 minutes, and the cabbage in just 3 minutes! I love it just with the cooked cabbage, but you can serve over cauliflower rice then ladle some of the juices from inside the Instant Pot, yum!
