AuthorMelissaSweet Potatoes layered on top of seasoned pork and kale! (Adapted from Cook Once, Eat All Week by Cassy Joy Garcia)
Cook the sweet potatoes using your desired method (in the microwave, cook each sweet potato for 5 minutes. If not yet fork-tender, continue to microwave in 1-minute increments until done).
Mash the sweet potatoes with the 1/4 tsp of salt, 1/4 tsp cumin, and juice from 1/2 lime.
Cut the pork shoulder into 4-5 pieces and season with coarse sea salt (about 1/2 Tbsp).
Add 1 Tbsp olive to Instant Pot and set to Saute. Sear the pork on each side for 2-3 minutes, working in batches.
Once seared, add all pork back to pot, along with 1/2 cup water. Put the lid on, set the valve to "sealing", press the Manual button, and set the timer to cook for 90 minutes.
Manually release the pressure, then shred the pork, removing the fat in the process.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Add the pork, kale, tomato paste, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt in a 9x13 (3 qt) casserole dish, and stir until fully combined.
Layer the seasoned mashed sweet potatoes on top.
Bake for 30 minutes, or until warmed through and the sweet potatoes have slightly browned.
Garnish the pie with sliced avocado, sour cream, and cilantro, and serve!
