For an even richer flavor, consider browning the pork in a skillet before adding it to the Instant Pot. This adds an extra layer of depth to the ragu. If you prefer a smoother sauce, you can use an immersion blender to partially blend the ragu after shredding the pork. Be careful not to over-blend it; you still want some texture. Serve over your favorite pasta, polenta, or creamy mashed potatoes. Garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of parsley for a delightful presentation.
