You will need:

  • 1 garlic bulb, halved
  • 1 fennel, halved

Let's make it:

Step 1:

Combine the sea salt, lemon zest and thyme in a small bowl. Rub the sea salt mixture over the rind and into the cuts of the pork.

Step 2:

Using the Pressure Multicooker setting on BROWN, brown the pork crackling side down until golden.

Step 3:

Arrange garlic and fennel around the pork. Pour apple cider into base of the pot.

Step 4:

Step 5:

In the last two hours of cooking, add the apples.

Step 6:

Once the cooking is complete, remove the pork and wrap in foil to rest. Select the BROWN function on the Pressure Multicooker.

Step 7:

Reduce the sauce by half and add the lemon zest, juice and sugar.

Step 8:

Using a stick mixer, blend all the ingredients together until a smooth sauce is formed.

Step 9:

Slice pork and serve with the apple and fennel sauce.
