The reason I have made this is because Jerry, one of our Sealpoint Siamese cats has only one tooth as a result of hereditary gingivitis. This means he tends to gobble all of his food and swallows it whole and then regurgitates it. Just for him we [[Blend|blend]] cat biscuits into a powder, which he is able to keep down. I want to enhance this 'biscuit dust' with a [[Gravy|gravy]] made up of all the things that we know he loves.

'''Please note:''' This is only as a treat for 'now-and-then' and certainly should not be fed to cats or kittens all the time as they require a balanced diet, which this recipe is not.

Because of the [[Baked beans|baked beans]], it probably contains too much [[Sugar|sugar]] as well.

This recipe is here an aide-mémoire form my benefit so I can replicate this recipe exactly, as it was such a success (as far as the cats were concerned!)

====Best recipe review====

''Poor Jerry is no more''

5/5 

Makes me sad reading this now. Jerry has long passed on, but he did love licking his cat gravy - bless him, wherever he is now.

}}

===Method===
{{RecipeMethod

| Trim the ribs of any excess fat.
| Using the [[pressure cooker]] as a saucepan, heat it up, add the [[olive oil]] and a pinch of ground [[black pepper]].
| [[Brown]] the ribs for 5 minutes, turning them often.
| Remove the ribs and set to one side.
| Add the [[butter]], yes, I know! It is a treat. Saute the butter for a minute or so, don't allow it to burn.
| Add the stock, the ribs and the remaining ingredients and stir well.
| Place the lid on the [[pressure cooker]], bring to 15 psi or high and cook for 2 hours.
| Allow the pressure to reduce by the [[De-pressurising_a_pressure_cooker#Natural_release|natural release method]].
| Separate the meat from the [[bones]] and add back to the gravy.
| Remove and discard any [[bones]], the [[Rosemary|rosemary]] sprig and the [[Bay leaf|bay leaf]].
| Carefully check for any softer [[bones]] that may have disintegrated during the cooking process.
|Allow to cool completely and skim and discard any fat. There was no surface fat when I cooked this though.
| Add to a [[Food processor|food processor]] and [[Blend|blend]] to a rough [[Puree|puree]]
}}
===Serving suggestions===
Store in the [[Fridge|fridge]] or [[Freeze|freeze]] in batches for later use.

===Variations===
This could be cooked in a [[slow-cooker]] on low for about 6 hours. Brown the ribs in a separate pan if you do this.
===Chef's notes===
I had originally intended to use [[Pork|pork]] [[Shank|shank]] but late on a sunday, our [[Butchers|butchers]] had none left.
