Directions
- 1
Spread the onion rings evenly across the bottom of the pressure cooker — they act as a natural rack and add flavor.
- 2
Cut the ribs into individual pieces and layer half of them bone-side down over the onions.
- 3
Pierce the sausages all over with a fork, then place half of them on top of the ribs.
- 4
Repeat the layers: remaining ribs followed by the rest of the pierced sausages.
- 5
Seal the pressure cooker and cook over medium-high heat for 40 to 45 minutes from the moment the valve starts hissing.
- 6
Turn off the heat and allow the pressure to release naturally. Open carefully and serve immediately.
💡 Chef's Tip
Do not add any water or oil — the fat and juices from the sausage and ribs are more than enough to create a beautifully moist, self-basting cook. The longer you leave the pressure to drop naturally, the more tender the meat will be.
