Slow Cooker Pork Tacos with Hoisin and Ginger
I added to the base. 3 star anise, 1/4 cup of garlic chili sauce, 3 tbsp of honey, 1/2 tsp ground clove, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, juice of 3 limes (needed acid. really punched up all flavors!) 2tbs rice wine vinegar.
I've made this several times, each time better than the last! I love that there is always plenty of amazingly flavorful broth left over which I turn into a terrific soup; rice noodles, shredded pork, more cilantro, bean sprouts.
I made this in an electric pressure cooker to see if it could be made fast instead of slow! It worked perfectly. Made 1/2 the recipe with 2 lbs. trimmed pork butt cut into 4 pieces (no bone). I added a touch more water (a couple of tablespoons). Cooked at high pressure for 35 minutes and let the pressure release naturally. I de-fatted the liquid and reduced it by about 25% before recombining with the shredded meat.
