Directions
- 1
Crumble the broth cube and mince the garlic. Rub the pork ribs all over with Dijon mustard, then season with dried herbs, garlic, salt and pepper.
- 2
Place the seasoned ribs in the pressure cooker with the crumbled broth cube. Seal the lid and heat over high heat until the cooker reaches full pressure.
- 3
Once at pressure, reduce the heat and cook for 10 minutes. Carefully release the pressure, open the lid and stir so the cooking juices coat the meat evenly.
- 4
Seal the lid again, bring back to pressure over high heat, then reduce to medium and cook for a further 20 minutes.
- 5
Allow the pressure to release naturally before opening. Serve immediately with mashed potatoes, rice or seasonal vegetables.
💡 Chef's Tip
For deeper flavour, marinate the ribs with mustard and herbs in the fridge for up to 1 hour before cooking. The cooking juices make a wonderful natural sauce — stir in a spoonful of crème fraîche and reduce briefly for a richer finish.
