Steps:
- In the bottom of a pressure cooker, combine beans, 4 cups water, 1 tablespoon oil and 1 teaspoon salt. Cover tightly and bring to high pressure over medium-high heat, about 10 minutes.
- While the beans are cooking, combine the ingredients for the vinaigrette. In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, shallots and a pinch of salt. Check the pressure cooker, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain pressure, for 30 minutes. Drizzle the remaining olive oil into the vinaigrette. Set aside.
- Once the beans have cooked at pressure for 30 minutes, remove from the heat and run the pot under cool, running water to release the pressure. Check the quick release valve to make sure all of the pressure has been released.Carefully open and test the beans. If they are not done, continue to simmer uncovered until they are (usually just another 5 to 10 minutes). If the pan dries out, add more water. Drain the beans and let cool.
- To assemble the salad, add half of the vinaigrette to the cooled beans. Toss gently to coat.In a large bowl, toss together the arugula, remaining vinaigrette and halved tomatoes. Add the grated Pecorino or Manchego cheese. Add the dressed beans. Toss to combine. Finish with optional freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately.
WHITE BEAN AND ARUGULA SALAD
Steps:
- The night before, place the beans in a large bowl and add water to cover by 2 inches. Soak overnight in the refrigerator. The following day, drain the beans, rinse under cold water, and drain again.
- Heat the 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the red onion and saute over medium-low heat for 7 to 9 minutes, until wilted. Add the beans and enough water to cover them by 3 inches. Bring to a boil and skim off any foam that rises to the surface. Reduce the heat and simmer gently for 45 minutes, until tender. Drain the beans and onions and transfer to a mixing bowl.
- Meanwhile, heat the 1/2 cup of olive oil in a 10- to 12-inch saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, rosemary, red pepper flakes, and prosciutto and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until fragrant. Pour the hot oil mixture over the warm drained beans, tossing well. Allow to cool for 10 minutes only. While still warm, stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Place in a large, shallow serving bowl, surround with arugula, taste for seasonings, and serve warm or at room temperature.

- Cook the beans until they are tender but still hold their shape: Overcooking will make them mushy.

- Add the beans, tomatoes, and arugula to the pan and cook until the vegetables are softened: Be careful not to overcook the vegetables, as they should still have a slight crunch.
- Season the dish with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes: Adjust the seasonings to taste.
