APPLES AND ONION PORK TENDERLOIN
SERVES 4
Ingredients
3-5 lb. Pork Rump or Pork Tenderloin
3 Apples (Sliced)
1 Whole Onion (Sliced)
2 Bay Leaves
2 Cups Apple Juice
1 Cup Broth (Chicken, Beef or
Vegetable, doesn t matter)
Salt & Pepper to taste
Remove any unwanted fatty pieces from pork. Season with salt and pepper on both
sides.
Place onions and apples into cooking pot. Pour in apple juice and broth. Place the
pork rump directly into pot. Shut the lid and turn it to lock it into place. Make sure
Pressure Valve is set to Airtight. Program pressure cooker for 60-minutes. It ll take 5-
10 minutes for the machine to heat up and build up the pressure. The 60-minute cook
time will begin to count down.
When the pressure cooker is finished with the cooking cycle, it will beep and
automatically go to keep warm. At this point, you can manually release the pressure
or allow it to Natural Release. Once the float valve has dropped and the lid is safe to
open, unlock and lift the lid up. Release any remaining pressure and turn to open the
lid. The onions and apples should melt as soon as you stir them. The pork is super
juicy and tender. Slice into thick slices and serve over mashed potatoes or stuffing
and ladle on the apple and onion gravy.

CODA ALLA VACCINARA BRAISED OXTAIL RAGU
SERVES 4
Coda alla Vaccinara is a popular Italian stew/ragu that originated from Rome. It is
made with red wine and oxtail (or sometimes veal tail), plus vegetables. It is
commonly served with pasta, polenta, or gnocchi.
Ingredients
4 lbs. of Oxtail
3 Cup of Water
3 Cup of Red Wine
1 Cup of Chopped Celery
1 Cup of Chopped Onion
1 Cup of Chopped Pancetta
1 Cup of Chopped Tomatoes or
Canned Stewed Tomatoes
2 Tbsp Freshly Chopped Garlic
1 Cup of Beef Stock or Beef Bouillon
4-6 Cloves or Star Anise
2-4 Bay Leaves
Salt & Pepper to taste
Pre-cook oxtail in just plain water first for 5 minutes in the pressure cooker. What this
does is get all the grime and meat residue cooked off the meat and float in the water.
It makes it easier to discard all of that so they don't float around in the stew later.
Trim off as much of the fat from the oxtail as you can. Then place into the pressure
cooker pot. Add 3 cups of filtered drinking water. Close and lock lid. Adjust the
Pressure Valve to Airtight . Program the pressure cooker for 5-minutes.
During this time, you can prepare the vegetables and other ingredients.
When the pre-cooking of the oxtail is complete, you can release the pressure. After
ALL pressure is released, open the lid and remove the cooking pot. Drain the water
