This is a very basic and balanced approach to pressure cooking a pork shoulder. The vegetables and potatoes are good together. The apple cider is a bit sweet though you can vary the taste of the gravy by adding cranberry or maybe even walnuts. Be careful not add too much flour. Alternatively, you may consider pico de gallo, corn tortillas, or fresh Mexican cheese such the Marquez Bros. in Morgan Hill CA sell. Uncomplicated and quick to prepare. You may consider a brief time on the grill after the pressure cooker to brown it a bit more. Overall a very tasty and balanced meal that's easy and quick to prepare.
