4 oz pork with 1 cup squash and 1 tbsp sauce
Step-By-Step Instructions:
- Press the Saute, then press the Adjust button to “More” or “High”. When the display says “Hot” add the pecans and cook for 4 minutes, or until beginning to lightly brown, stirring occasionally. Set aside on separate plate.
- Combine the cinnamon, cloves, 1/2 tsp. salt, and the black pepper in a small bowl and coat both sides of the pork with the mixture.
- Add the oil to the pot, tilt pot to coat bottom lightly. Place pork in the pot and cook 2 minutes on each side.
- Pour the water around pork and top pork with orange slices. Seal the lid, close the valve, press the Cancel button, and set to Manual/Pressure Cook for 20 minutes. Use a natural pressure release for 5 minutes, followed by a quick pressure release.
- When the valve drops, carefully remove the lid. Remove the pork. (Internal temperature should reach 145 degrees F.) Place on cutting board and let stand 5 minutes before slicing. Cover to keep warm, if desired.
- Meanwhile, add the squash and onions to the liquid in the pot. Seal the lid, close the valve, press the Cancel button, and set to Manual/Pressure Cook for 3 minutes, followed by a quick pressure release. When the valve drops, carefully remove the lid. Remove the vegetables with a slotted spoon and sprinkle evenly with the pecans. Cover to keep warm.
- Add the cranberries to the liquid in the pot. Press the Cancel button, and set to Saute. Bring to a boil and boil 6-7 minutes or until thickened and reduced to 1/2 cup. Spoon over pork slices.
