Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Toast all the chiles on a rimmed baking sheet until beginning to brown (do not char) and starting to lightly curl in places, about 5 minutes. Set aside until ready to use.
- Meanwhile, set a 6-quart Instant Pot® to high saute (see Cook's Note). When hot, after 1 to 2 minutes, add the oil and pork and let the pork sit undisturbed until browned, about 6 minutes. Turn the pork and brown the other side, 6 minutes more. Transfer to a plate until ready to use.
- Add the oregano, peppercorns, garlic, cloves, sliced onions and 2 tablespoons salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are tender and beginning to brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Add 6 cups water and the toasted chiles and bring to a simmer. Turn the pot off, cover and let sit until the chiles have softened, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Blend the chile mixture in a blender until completely smooth. Transfer back to the pot and stir in 6 cups water until combined. Add the reserved pork, pozole, cilantro, mint and bay leaf.
- Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high for 1 hour 20 minutes.
- After the pressure-cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for natural release. After 20 minutes, being careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid.
- Remove and discard the cilantro, mint and bay leaf. Carefully transfer the pork to a rimmed baking sheet. Using two forks, shred the meat into bite-sized pieces. Return to the pot along with any accumulated juices and stir to combine.
- Serve with thinly sliced cabbage, thinly sliced radishes, dried oregano, cilantro leaves, fried tortilla strips, crumbled queso fresco, chopped white onion, crema and lime wedges.
