    User Post: Pork Mole - Pressure Cooker Style

    So the pork is not yet done, but the house smells fantastic and I can almost taste it!
    Here is what I have put into the pot to try my hand in making Mexican food:
    Pork, cubed into 2 inch pieces (I used bone free rib meat)
    2 cups of cubed red skin potatoes
    1 medium carrot, cut into 1 inch pieces
    3 medium celery stalks, cut into 1 inch pieces
    half a packet of mole sauce, which is 4 ounces (Frontera brand)
    1/2 cup of unsweetened apple sauce
    1/2 cup of Italian tomato sauce
    enough water to cover the whole thing (probably 2/3 of a cup to start with)
    about 1/2 teaspoon of salt

    I reserved 4 ounces of the Mole sauce to adjust the seasoning at the end of the cooking time and brighten up the sauce flavor. My pressure cooker is set to rapid pressure cooking for 35 minutes.

    The pork will be paired with my spanish rice.

    Rice recipe is:
    1/2 cup of jasmine rice
    2/3 cup of water
    1/4 cup of tomato sauce
    a pinch of turmeric
    a pinch of sweet paprika
    1/2 teaspoon of Kosher salt

    Put all ingredients into a pot and turn heat to high. Let it come to a boil, reduce heat to low to medium-low, cover and let simmer for 18 minutes. Uncover in the last 2 minutes.

    Enjoy!

      My after-school snack was a sacred ritual. I sat on the carpet in my parents' bedroom at a low table, the television turned to "I Dream of Jeannie," and ate a peanut butter and honey sandwich cut into neat squares. I wasn't fussy about crusts. I just loved the sticky pairing of creamy peanut butter with syrupy golden sweetness drizzled from a honey bear in diagonals across the soft white bread. Nothing else--save for maybe apples and peanut butter in a pinch--could have made for as sweet an
