1

Season the pork with salt and pepper. Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as an Instant Pot) and choose the Saute setting. Add the garlic and olive oil; cook for 3 minutes.
2

Add the pork and cook until browned, about 2 minutes per side.
3

Add the tomatoes, peppers, parsley, thyme leaves, and bay leaves; secure and lock the lid. Choose high pressure as directed by the manufacturer; set the timer for 45 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build.

Release the pressure using the natural-release method per the manufacturer's directions, 10 to 40 minutes. Remove and discard the bay leaves, then shred the pork with 2 forks.
