Directions
- 1
Spread the onion rings evenly across the bottom of the pressure cooker — they act as a natural rack and add sweetness to the cooking juices.
- 2
Arrange the rib pieces on top of the onions. Add the crushed garlic, bay leaf and crumble the bouillon cube directly over the meat.
- 3
Pour in the water and season with salt and pepper. Seal the lid securely.
- 4
Bring to high pressure over high heat, then immediately reduce to medium-low and cook for 45 minutes.
- 5
Turn off the heat and allow the pressure to release naturally before opening. Discard the bay leaf and serve the ribs with their cooking juices.
💡 Chef's Tip
For even deeper flavour, season the ribs with garlic, thyme and pepper the night before and leave them uncovered in the fridge — the surface dries slightly and the meat absorbs the spices more intensely.
