Ingredients

2 cups dry white beans such as cannellini, Great Northern or Haricot
4 cups water
1 teaspoon bicarb soda
4 cups soaked white beans (yielded from 2 cups of dry beans)
4 cups water
1 cube of vegetable stock (see notes)
5 cloves garlic, roughly diced
3 sprigs of rosemary
1/2 medium onion, cut into 4 wedges
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil (see notes for WW adjustments)
1.5 tablespoons lemon juice (1/3 lemon)
A little lemon zest (optional)

Steps:

Soak the beans in water and bicarb soda for 12 hours (overnight or during the day). They will double in size. Rinse and use right away or refrigerate in an airtight container for a maximum of 12-24 hours.
Add the beans, water, vegetable stock cube, garlic, rosemary, onions and salt to the pot and mix through. Pop the lid on top, lock and make sure the top valve is pointing to Sealing. Press Manual/Pressure Cook, HIGH pressure and set for 10 minutes. The pressure build-up will take about 7-10 minutes. Once 10 minutes are up, allow the pressure to release naturally for 20-25 minutes.
Open the lid (after quick release, if needed) and skim off the onions from the top. Remove the rosemary sprigs (the needles should fall off into the soup and can be eaten). Stir the beans.
Depending on how soupy or thick you like your braised beans, you might want to discard about 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid.
Now, to thicken the beans, add some of the cooked beans and the broth liquid to a blender or food processor (about 1 cup, see pics above) and blend until smooth and thick. Return the puree to the pot and stir through the beans. The starched puree will thicken the mixture.
Finally, add the lemon juice and olive oil and stir through before serving. You can also add the olive oil once it is served.

INSTANT POT® WHITE BEANS

Instant Pot® White Beans image

Instead of buying canned beans, I use my pressure cooker to cook them from dry--no soaking required! If you do decide to soak the beans, check your appliance manual because cooking time will be shorter.

Tips:

Use dried beans for the best flavor and texture. If using canned beans, be sure to rinse and drain them well before using.
Soak the beans overnight in cold water before cooking. This will help to reduce the cooking time and make the beans more digestible.
Add aromatics like garlic, onion, and celery to the pot along with the beans. This will help to infuse the beans with flavor.
Season the beans with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a bay leaf or two for extra flavor.
Cook the beans on high pressure for 30 minutes, then let the pressure release naturally. This will ensure that the beans are cooked through and tender.
Once the beans are cooked, you can use them in a variety of dishes. They're great in soups, stews, salads, and dips.

Conclusion:

White beans are a versatile and delicious ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. They're a good source of protein, fiber, and vitamins, and they're also relatively inexpensive. If you're looking for a healthy and affordable way to add more plant-based protein to your diet, white beans are a great option.
