Instant Pot Ribs
Do you love ribs? Are you on a low carb/keto diet? Even if you aren’t, this super easy recipe for country style ribs is the BEST ever! These Apple Cider Vinegar Ribs are flavorful, easy and quick. Just use your Instant Pot to make the BEST ribs you have ever eaten! You can also make these country style ribs on the stove or in your slow cooker!
This Braised Short Ribs & Creamy Polenta recipe is one of my FAVORITES! My husband and I have committed to a low carb/keto lifestyle (well…most of the time). A lot of our favorite recipes are easily adapted thankfully (find some of our favorite low carb recipes here), and this is no exception.
Even better? I have figured out how to make this in the Instant Pot (find more Instant Pot Recipes here)! Which cuts down dramatically on the cook time.
The one thing we do miss is serving this over the creamy polenta. The broth that this Apple Cider Vinegar Ribs recipe makes is SO flavorful and delicious that it just BEGS to be served over some kind of starchy creamy carb filled side dish.
Thankfully, you can serve this on top of my creamy mashed cauliflower and it is still absolutely delicious! In this case, I did not have any cauliflower, so we served it over roasted spaghetti squash (I cooked it in the oven, because my Instant Pot was being used for the ribs….but here is how to cook the Spaghetti Squash in your Instant Pot if you are lucky enough to have TWO Instant Pots!).
This version is a bit more simplified, but still JUST as tasty!
