Recipe Review

Overall, this was a good recipe, but I would make a few adjustments. 90 minutes of pressure cooker time did not make sense to me. I reduced it to 75 minutes, and the pork was a bit on the dry side. I can make many braised dinners with 20 minutes of cooking time, so something seems really off with this recipe.
However, the green tea and liquid smoke braising liquid was good. The green tea is supposed to mimic pork being cooked in banana leaves. The liquid smoke was not overpowering at all.
The pineapple salsa got some tweaking for me. I like to use red onion and a lot more lime juice and I added mango to the mix. This is a very good salsa, if I do say so myself.
I'd probably make this again, but I think I'd like to sear the meat, first, then put it in the braising liquid. I would think I could reduce the P/C time to 30 minutes.
