If you want to feed a crowd but you don't have time for cooking, pulled pork pressure cooker is the solution. You can use pork loin or pork shoulder, 1.5 to 2 kilos (3 to 4 pounds) and it will not break the bank.
I make this when I have a load of teenagers coming for the night or when I have a busy weekend and I don't want to spend time worrying about lunch and dinner.
I prepare a large bowl of pulled pork, coleslaw, and wraps.
When the boys are hungry they just help themselves to a nice wrap and I don't have to be involved.
This is not a typical French or Italian recipe, it is just a timesaver and my boys love it.
It is an easy, well-balanced family dinner that can be used for lunch boxes, picnics or lazy Sunday.
Pork is a very common street food and if you want to try to make an Italian version you can make this Porchetta Romana recipe, adapted for a home cooking.

But today I want to keep it simple, so a pulled pork pressure cooker will do.
My pressure cooker is a WMF Perfect Pressure Cooker (affiliate link to amazon).
If you don't have a pressure cooker you will have to cook the pork for 5 hours, but if you are interested to learn more about my pressure cooker and how I use it, you can find my review here:
