Slow Cooker:

Pressure Cooker:

  1. Season the ribs with paprika, salt, and black pepper. For a 6-qt. electric cooker, use sauté setting to brown ribs, half at a time, in hot oil. For a 6-qt. stove-top cooker, brown meat, half at a time, in hot oil in cooker. Return all meat to cooker. Add squash, broth, wine, soy sauce, garlic, and thyme. Lock lid.

  2. Set electric cooker on high pressure to cook 30 minutes. For stove-top cooker, bring up to pressure over medium-high heat according to manufacturer's directions; reduce heat enough to maintain steady (but not excessive) pressure. Cook 30 minutes.
