Pineapple Jerk Riblets (Instant Pot)
Pineapple Jerk Riblets (Instant Pot)
Short on time but want some ribs? The Instant Pot will cut your cooking time drastically. I added all of the ingredients of the jerk marinade to the ribs without pureeing. You can definitely purée them if you want. The pressure cooker will pulverize everything to shit anyways, so why create extra dishes. The best part of this dish is that the riblets only cost $1.99lb at my local Asian market.
Equipment

Ingredients
- 3 lbs pork riblets
- 1 cup jamacain jerk marinade
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients into the instant pot. Turn the function to Pressure Cook on high for 45 minutes. Put on the lid and push start.
- Release the pressure. Turn the function to Sauté. Simmer for 10 more minutes to thicken the sauce.
Adobong Dilaw (Adobo Braised Pork Belly wth Turmeric)
Adobong Dilaw (Adobo Braised Pork Belly with Turmeric)
Adobong Dilaw is adobo braised pork belly with turmeric. The key to great Filipino adobo is to not stir the dish once the vinegar is added. This allows the acidity and raw vinegar taste to cook off properly. If you are on a diet and are concerned about fat content, this dish might not be for you. If you don’t give 2 shits about what you eat and are looking for porky richness, then by all means, cannibalize! Serve with mashed potatoes or steamed rice.

- 1/2 medium onion diced
- 6 garlic cloves minced
- 2 pieces turmeric peeled and julienned

- 1/4 cup vinegar
- 1/2 cup water
- 3 bay leaves
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat up cooking oil in a large sauté pan over medium high heat. Sauté the onions, garlic, and turmeric for 5 minutes.
- Add in the pork belly. Sauté for 5 minutes.

- Pour in the water and add the bay leaves. Cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low. Simmer for 1 hour.

Is there a greater gift to man than the belly of swine? The answer is no. No there isn’t. It is so great that we make the decision to fry this gift in it’s own rendered fat while naked, bathing in it’s crackling bukkake of lipidation. Oh yesss! Pinch that pork nipple.
Ingredients
- 1 lb skin on pork belly
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- water enough to cover
Instructions
- Cut 1” cuts crosswise into the meat of a piece of pork belly, but not into the skin. Rub with baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the pork belly to a large sauté pan. Add enough water to cover the belly. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium. Cook until all of the water has evaporated.
- Cook the pork belly for 15-20 minutes depending on thickness. Flip the pork belly every couple of minutes to get even browning. The pork will render out plenty of fat, so no oil or lard required.
