Add all ingredients to the inner liner of the Instant Pot. Stir (Make sure the beans are fully submerged so you don't get any crunchy ones). 2. Put the lid on, and set the steam release knob to the Sealing position. 3. Press the Beans/Stew button and the + or - button to choose 35 minutes. 4. When the cooking cycle ends, turn off the pot and let it naturally release pressure for 20-30 minutes. 5. Carefully release the remaining steam manually, using short bursts at first to make sure the soup won't spew out of the steam release knob. When all steam is out of the pot, and the pin in the lid drops, open the lid facing it away from you. 6. Serve hot with some nice bread or rolls. list end Recipe Notes *I soak my beans for 2 hours and use 35 minutes for this recipe. If you don't soak your beans, try 40 minutes and add more time if you need to. _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
