BBQ Pork Ribs with Spinach-Bean Salad
- 1 1/2 pounds baby back pork ribs
- 1 cup prepared barbecue sauce
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 yellow onion, cut into large dice
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 cup dried cannellini beans, soaked, rinsed, and drained
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- 6 ounces fresh spinach (about 3 cups; baby spinach is nice)
- Cut the ribs apart.
- Coat them on all sides with most of the barbecue sauce and sprinkle with salt and pepper: set the remaining sauce aside.
- Arrange the ribs in a steamer basket; you can stand them somewhat vertically to get them to fit.
- Set aside.
- Heat the pressure cooker base on medium heat, add the oil, and heat briefly.
- Stir in the onion and saute until soft, about 4 minutes.
- Add the water, beans, and bay leaf and stir.
- Lower the rib-filled steamer basket into the pressure cooker and then close and lock the lid.
- Cook at high pressure (see Notes) for 20 minutes/stovetop or 23 to 25 minutes/ electric (or nonstandard stovetop), When the time is up, open the pressure cooker with the 10-Minute Natural Release method (see Notes).
- Set the upturned lid of the cooker on your countertop.
- Carefully lift the steamer basket out of the cooker and place it on the lid; cover with aluminum foil.
- Fish out and discard the bay leaf from the beans, and mix in 1 teaspoon salt, the garlic, and spinach.
- Using a slotted spoon, scoop the bean mixture into a large casserole (big enough to hold the ribs in one layer) with low sides.
- Using tongs, arrange the ribs on top of the beans and brush with the remaining barbecue sauce.
- Turn on the broiler.
- Broil the casserole until the sauce on the ribs is lightly caramelized, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Serve immediately.
