Servings: 8

Servings: 8
Ingredients
  • 1 Tbls oil
  • 1 lb dry navy beans
  • 4 C Chicken Broth
  • 3 C Water
  • 1 onion, diced
  • ¾ cup carrots, diced
  • 3 celery stalks, diced
  • 2 Tbsp Tomato Paste
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 1 lb Ham Steak, diced
Steps
  1. Sort and rinse dry beans. Place beans in a nonmetallic bowl and cover with enough water to allow expansion of beans. (About 2 inches above beans). Add 1 T salt and give it a stir to mix. Allow beans to soak 6 to 8 hours or overnight.
  2. Put 1 Tbsp oil into Inner pot of pressure cooker. Touch the sauté or chicken setting to heat the pot. Once hot, add in the onions. Keep stirring frequently until they are cooked and browned (about 5 mins).
  3. Add carrots, celery and garlic and sauté 3 mins more.
  4. Add ham and sauté 3 minutes more.
  5. Add in drained beans, tomato paste, black pepper, and liquid. Stir.
  6. Set the valve to seal. Set cook time to 20 minutes. (Note: with this much liquid it will take awhile to come to pressure and to release pressure. Allow a good 1 hour.)
  7. After 20 minutes do a NR (natural release) then open vent and release any remaining pressure.
  8. Taste and add additional salt or pepper as needed.
  9. Serve!
Notes
  • If cooking on the stove, cook over medium- low heat approx 1 ½ hours until beans are tender.
