Season ribs with a good pinch of salt. 

Combine all of the ingredients for the marinade in a large bowl. Coat ribs in a few spoonfuls of the marinade, allow to marinate for a few hours if possible. 

Fold the ribs and place in a pressure cooker, pour over the remaining marinade and add ½ cup water. Place on a medium heat and bring to the boil. 

Once at pressure, turn down to a low heat and allow to simmer for 45 minutes, check the meat and cook for another 15 minutes if needed. Let the steam out and open to cool down.
