Make a larger piece of meat than you need to give you something for sandwiches later.

 

Warm up your pressure cooker. Add a drizzle of oil and let heat up. In the meantime cut the onions in stripes. Add them to the pot at medium heat until caramelised. Take the onions out and put the seasoned pork in. Sear it from all sides, it will add an interesting depth of flavour.
Once seared add the onions back in and add water to cover the pork.
Close the pressure cooker and let cook for 30 minutes.  Once done it should be soft and fall apart.

Veggie Spring Rolls

A meatless recipe that I have enjoyed at home lately and thought you might like it too.

 

To make the spring rolls, fill a bowl or pan big enough to fit the rice paper with warm water. Soak the rice paper in the water for about 30 seconds – until pliable but not soggy. Place the rice paper on a work surface, put a sixth of the filling onto the wrapper and roll up like a fat sausage. Wet the edges of the wrapper, press to seal. Repeat with other wrappers and the rest of the mixture

To serve, leave the rolls whole or cut them in half with a sharp knife. Sprinkle with sesame seeds (if using) and serve with the dipping sauce.
