Alscation Charcuterie

Ok, so here's my rendition of a great meaty meal done quickly in the pressure cooker

1 lb pork ribs, salt and peper
1 lb Kielbasa, sliced 2" on bias
1 lb Bratwurst, sliced 2" on bias
1/2 dry Riesling
1 bag Sauerkraut
2 tsp Juniper Berries
1 t whole cloves
1 T caraway
Make a bouquet garni (satchet with cheese cloth for the aromatics)
1 c vegetable broth

I use a Cuisinart 6qt Pressure Cooker (PC). Turn PC to saute' function. Lightly sear pork ribs all sides. Remove and place in bowl. Place Kielbasa and Bratwurst into PC and cook until just heated through. Add pork ribs and any accumulated juices back into PC. Add Riesling and cook until reduced, about 2 minutes. Add sauerkraut, aromatics and vegetable broth. Cover and secure lid. Cook under high pressure for 30 minutes...quick release. Carefully remove lid. Check ribs for tenderness. If you prefer them falling off the bone, replace cover and bring back up to high pressure and cook for another 10 minutes. Quick release.
Place meats and kraut into serving dish along with liquids. Remove bouquet garni.
Serve in bowls along with a rustic crusty bread to soak up the wonderful juices.

Bon Appetit!
