Spanish Braised Pork is a flavorful and hearty dish that is perfect for fall and winter. This recipe uses a pressure cooker to cut down on cooking time, but can also be made in a slow cooker or on the stovetop.

5.	Add the seasoned pork and brown on each side for about 2-3 minutes.
6.	Pour in the lemon juice, red wine, and chicken stock.
