Hidalgo Style Barbecue in a Pressure Cooker

Barbecue is prepared in many places in Mexico and is a very traditional dish where the meat is cooked in Pib, which means in an earth oven, where the meat is covered with roasted maguey leaves. It results in very tender and juicy meat, in addition to being very flavorful, accompanied by a consommé made from the cooking juices, chickpeas, and carrots. A super complete and traditional dish now at your home!
