The Instant Pot has become one of the most used appliances in my kitchen. I’ve stopped putting it away because I use it practically every day. I’m amazed at how fast I can do things and so easily. From eggs to lentils to chicken and stew, it can do it all.
Always in the mood for meaty ribs, I tried making them in the Instant Pot. I was surprised when I got fall off the bone ribs in 40 minutes! Seriously. The ribs which are normally done in the smoker or the oven, low and slow, and take hours to get them tender and moist were done so quickly in the Instant Pot.
The ribs were browned directly in the pot. Onions, garlic, rosemary and tomato paste provided the flavours for this comforting dish. Once the meat was cooked, the broth was thickened with some cornstarch, making the perfect sauce.
The boys loved them, especially served over creamy mashed potatoes. Perfect for a cold night or Sunday Supper.
