Ingredients
  

  • 1 kg Ribs I like to use pork
  • 3/4 cup Tomato Sauce / Ketchup Sugar Free
  • 2 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 2 tbsp Sweet Smoked Paprika
  • 1/2 - 1 tsp chilli powder
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1 tbsp cooking oil
  • 1/2 tsp xanthan gum optional, to thicken sauce

Instructions
 

Slow Cooker Instructions

  • In a large frying pan, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat.
  • Brown the ribs on all sides, around 2 - 3 minutes per side.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together all remaining ingredients in a small bowl.
  • Place the ribs in the slow cooker and pour over the sauce, rubbing it all over the ribs.
  • Add 1/2 cup water to the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours.
  • When ready to serve, remove the ribs and whisk the sauce together.
  • If it is particularly fatty, skim the fat off the top before whisking. If you would like to thicken the sauce further, you can use 1/2 tsp xanthan gum.

Instant pot / pressure cooker instructions

  • Turn the instant pot to the Brown setting and add oil.
  • Cut the rack of ribs in half and brown each side evenly.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the sauce. Rub the sauce all over the browned ribs and return to the instant pot.
  • Set to "pressure cook" for 30 minutes then let the pressure naturally release.
  • When ready to serve, remove the ribs and whisk the sauce. If it is particularly fatty, skim the fat off the top before whisking. If you would like to thicken the sauce further, you can use 1/2 tsp xanthan gum.
