These easy no-fuss ribs come together in under 30 minutes from ingredients you probably already have in your pantry. Using a pressure cooker, greatly reduces the time needed to tenderize the ribs, and braising them in wine, tomato paste and soy sauce infuses some great umami into the meat.
Once the ribs are tender, it's just a matter of releasing the pressure from the cooker and then reducing the braising liquid into a glaze, which can then be used to coat each rib in a blissfully sticky sauce that's sweet, savory, tangy and smoky.
Although this is very simple and quick, there is one thing to watch out for. The amount of liquid skates on the edge of what will evaporate in 15 minutes in the cooker. If you run out of water, the ribs will burn, so it's important to stay near the cooker. If you know your cooker tends to evaporate liquid faster than other cookers, you may want to start off with some extra water, the only thing you stand to lose by doing this is a few extra minutes to boil down the glaze after the ribs are tender.
