How to Make EASY and DELICIOUS PORK POCHERO Recipe using Instant Pot

About:  

Puchero or Pochero is a type of stew that is common to Spanish influenced countries such as South America and the Philippines, The word “puchero” itself is a Spanish term that means “stew pot.” The ingredients vary from region to region but the main ingredients that always stay the same are chickpeas or white beans and meat which can be beef, goat, pork or chicken. 

In this recipe, I used Pork Belly which brings out a really good flavor and by using Instant Pot, it levels up the deliciousness in an easy way.
