Contents
The Key Points are Tender, Tasty and Roasted
There’s a few reasons that turn us on when creating this recipe.
First of all, we were looking for a quick and easy recipe and most recipes on the Internet are at least 4 hours long, mainly because they are focused on cooking using slow cookers.
But even the Instant Pot Recipes are at least 3 hours and there’s plenty of ingredients that again are against our policy of quick and easy.
Thats when we start thinking about This Recipe.
There are tons of ways of cooking Pork Roast, but the focus is always on the tenderness of the Pork, that’s also why many Pork roast Recipes use only Pork Loin instead of pork but or shoulder.

But by mixing the pressure cooking of the pork together with the Sauerkraut we focus more on the overall flavor of the recipe.
The Sauerkraut will give a powerful touch that will enhance the pork flavor and add an extra sauer punch to the mix.
So without futher a do lets go straight to the recipe:

- You may not like to eat the sauerkraut but you can cook it any way following our recipe and then take out the sauerkraut and dont eat it at all. But the flavor that you will get using the sauerkraut cooked under pressure together with the pork is what makes it worth it
- Garlic is optional. It is not traditional, but we love the added flavor.
- Feel free to use a pork shoulder or pork butt roast and cut it and cook it in the same way.
