The classic flavors of herbes de Provence, apples and dried plums make this easy cooked pork taste like a hearty meal at a French country cafe. For a traditional pairing, serve the pork with braised lentils. —Suzanne Banfield, Basking Ridge, New Jersey

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Text Ingredients

Directions

  1. Halve roast. Mix flour, herbes de Provence, salt and pepper; rub over pork. Select saute or browning setting on a 6-qt. electric pressure cooker. Adjust for medium heat; add 1 tablespoon oil. When oil is hot, brown a roast half on all sides. Remove; repeat with remaining pork and oil.
  2. Add cider to pressure cooker. Cook 1 minute, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. Press cancel. Add onions, stock, bay leaves and roast.
  3. Lock lid; close pressure-release valve. Adjust to pressure-cook on high for 25 minutes. Let pressure release naturally for 10 minutes; quick-release any remaining pressure. A thermometer inserted in pork should read at least 145°. Remove roast and onions to a serving platter, discarding bay leaves; tent with foil.
  4. Select saute setting and adjust for low heat. Add apples and plums; simmer, uncovered, until apples are tender, 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve with roast.
