I have been away most of this week, demoing pressure cooking to a lovely crowd in Paignton and made the most of a couple of days by the sea with bracing walks and a good mooch around Totnes on market day. I cooked these as part of the demo and hadn’t intended to do them again, but this morning at my farmers market, the Lincolnshire butcher I usually buy pork products from was selling racks of ribs for under £5 a kilo and I thought I should take advantage. And actually, I’m quite happy to be cooking them again - when I do cookery demos I can’t eat, so although I can appreciate how good something smells, I don’t taste unless it is for seasoning.
I made these to your recipe at the end of last year, finishing them off in the oven -they were perfect. I did reduce the cooking time as they were quite small and quickly falling off the bone but I’d never go back to the day-long, slow cooking again. Previously I have found myself swallowing soft bone by accident and wondered if that was ok as I didn’t know about cooking bones until edible. Thank you for that piece of added information

This sounds absolutely incredible. Cannot wait to try this one !
Hello Catherine! Do you leave the ribs joined up in racks or cut them into individual ribs before browning? Thanks for all your great recipes!
