Step 1

Remove the Plastic from the Cottage roll but leave the netting on the roll. Place in your Instant pot on the metal holder.

Step 2

Add the water to the Instant Pot. You want the meat just almost covered. Add more/ less water depending on the size of your Instant Pot and the size of your cottatge roll.

Step 3

Add the whole garlic cloves, 1 large chopped onion, bay leaves, peppercorns, or use the all-in-one optional pickling spices if you are using them (I usually don't)

Step 4

Set the Instant Pot Main Pressure Cook for 30mins per lbs - 1hr for 2 lbs 1hr 30mins for 3 lbs. The Internal Temperature needs to be at least 160F. Allow your Instant Pot to Natural Release when the time is up.

Step 5

Remove pork from Instant Pot. Save liquid to make soup.

Step 6

You can eat as is or you can make an optional glaze and finish in the oven with some vegetables

Step 7

You have several choices for vegetable preparation. While the Cottage Roll is cooking prepare the vegetables. Clean, and cut your carrots, onion, potatoes, and cabbage. You want large chunky vegetables.

Step 8

Option 1 - Remove some of the liquid in the instant pot. Save it for soup. Add the large chunky vegetables. Set Instant Pot timer for 6 minutes. Use quick release.It takes a while to get all the liquid under pressure. This will make a boiled vegetable option.

Step 9

Option 2 - Place chopped carrots, onions, potatoes, cabbage into the bottom of a roasting pan. This takes a while but offers roasted vegetables.

Step 10

Set oven to 425.

Step 11

Mix ingredients of glaze. An additional option is to just brush some dijon or regular mustard on top, or nothing at all.

Step 12

Cut the netting off the cottage roll. If you are not roasting vegetables add a teaspoon of olive oil to the bottom of the pan so it won't stick.

Step 13

Place pork on top of vegetables and coat with glaze.

Step 14

Bake in the oven for at least 20-45 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the glaze is set.This makes the cottage roll less mushy and has more of a crunch to it. Those crispy pork bits are the best!

Step 15

Remove, slice and enjoy!
