Blueberry BBQ Ribs

Blueberry BBQ Ribs

Ingredients:

1 large or 2 small racks of ribs (membrane removed)

2 tsp. salt

1tsp. pepper

1tsp. garlic powder

1 tsp. smoked paprika

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

1/2 cup water

For the sauce:

1 Tbsp. avocado oil or ghee

1 can tomato sauce

1 small shallot-minced

2 cups organic blueberries

¼ cup apple cider vinegar

1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard

2 Tbsp. Chipotle in adobo paste

1 tsp. turmeric

1 tsp. cumin

1 tsp. chili powder

1 Tbsp. smoked paprika

2 Tbsp. molasses or honey

2 garlic cloves-minced

¼ tsp. cayenne pepper

Salt to season

Directions:

1. Season the meaty side of the ribs with the salt, pepper, garlic, and paprika and rub into the meat.

2. Place the rack in your pressure cooker and pour in the vinegar and water. Place the ribs into the cooker pot (wrapping them around the sides so they fit). Set the mode to manual or meat and set the time to 30 mins. Make sure the steam valve is closed and press start.

3. Make the sauce: heat the oil over medium heat and add the shallot. Cook until they start to soften and add the blueberries. Continue to cook until the blueberries start to break down, about 5-7 minutes.

4. Add in the garlic and cook for one more minute. Add in the rest of the ingredients, stir, and cover. Cook for 20 minutes, or until the ribs are done.

5. Taste to see if you need to add salt. Then puree the mixture using an immersion or regular blender.

6. When the ribs are done cooking, manually release steam. Remove ribs from the pot and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Coat well with BBQ sauce and place in the oven on broil for about 3 minutes until the sauce caramelizes, watching carefully to avoid burning.

7. Remove from the oven and coat with more sauce if desired. Enjoy!
