INSTANT POT PORK ADOBO RECIPE
If your family likes spicy, savory flavors, they will love my Instant Pot Pork Adobo recipe! Juicy, tender pork shoulder cooked in well-balanced spices and herbs…yum! It’s a family favorite at my house, and in my Instant Pot, it’s ready in about an hour!
CAN I ADJUST THE SPICE LEVEL FOR INSTANT POT PORK ADOBO?
This is one thing I love about Instant Pot Pork Adobo. It’s so easy to adjust the spiciness to fit your family’s preference! Chipotles in adobo do carry a good amount of spice, so feel free to adjust it as needed.
If you would like less spice, just remove the peppers and use the adobo sauce. You can freeze the peppers to use in other recipes! If you want to increase the spice, go ahead and cut up a few peppers to cook with the pork. Be aware though, a little goes a long way!
WHAT SHOULD I SERVE WITH INSTANT POT PORK ADOBO?
Because Pork Adobo is a spicier recipe, I recommend serving something that will counter the spices like Cheesy Garlic Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes or Instant Pot Sweet Potatoes. Add a salad and some Southern Cornbread Muffins, and you’ve got a dinner that your family will adore!
WILL INSTANT POT PORK ADOBO FREEZE WELL?
Instant Pot Pork Adobo freezes very well, and it’s so easy to add in to other recipes! Just package up any leftovers and pull them out whenever you need them. They’re great for sandwiches or sliders, on nachos, or a quick lunch or dinner!

Happenings from our family of 9
The weather has been pretty consistently cold, wet and miserable here all winter. The past several years have been mild with plenty of sunny days, so this is an adjustment. Pictured below are the girls during on of our camping outings last year. Just a reminder that brighter days are just around the corner!
