I always love finding delicious recipes to make using beans. They are healthy and inexpensive. And when I can use dry beans and cook them up into something tasty, it makes me feel quite thrifty. I've posted some White Beans with Rosemary before that use canned beans, but the recipe I'm posting today uses dry beans. With a little help from the Instant Pot, these come together quickly and easily. With some salad and fresh bread these beans make for a tasty dinner.
White Rosemary Beans (Pressure Cooker)
Ingredients:
1 lb. dry great northern beans
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
3-4 teaspoons dried rosemary
8 cups chicken broth (or water)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions:
1. Rinse beans and pick out any that look dried to shriveled.
2. Heat olive oil in Instant Pot on saute function, and then saute onion for 4-5 minutes. Add garlic, saute 30 seconds. Add rosemary and chicken broth (or water).
3. Press 'Manual' and cook on high for 32-34 minutes (the longer time will cause the beans to break down more). Allow the pressure to naturally release.
4. Drain the beans, reserving the liquid. Put the beans back into the Instant Pot and press 'Saute.' Add 1 cup of the liquid and cook and stir until desired thickness is reached, adding more liquid as desired. The more you stir, the more the beans will break down. Add salt and pepper to taste.
