Instructions
  1. Cook the pork: Place all the pork ingredients for except the pork in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is mostly smooth. Place the pork roast in a large sealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the pork and seal the bag. Toss the marinade and pork together in the bag until the pork is well-coated. Place the bag in the refrigerator to marinate overnight (at least 8 hours). Once the pork has marinated, place the pork and excess marinade from the bag into the Instant Pot. Cook on the manual setting for 45 minutes.
  2. Make the rice and peas: While the pork is cooking, make the rice and peas. Place the coconut milk, water, beans, onion, garlic, thyme, salt and pepper in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil. Add in the rice, reduce to a simmer and cover the pan. Cook for 15-20 minutes until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is cooked through. Fluff and stir with a fork.
  3. Make the Coleslaw: While the rice and peas are cooking, Whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, mustard, garlic, salt and pepper. Pour over the coleslaw mix and add in the green onions. Stir to combine.
  4. Assemble the bowls: Shred the pork in the Instant Pot. Place a portion of rice and peas and the coleslaw into each bowl. Top with the pulled pork. Sprinkle with chopped scallions and drizzle ranch dressing and/or desired sauce over the top.
Notes
No Instant Pot? You can easily adapt this recipe for the slow cooker. After marinating, cook the pork on high for 6-8 hours or on low for 8-10 hours.
