Ingredients

  • 2 tsp olive oil

  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 lb dried small white beans

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Add olive oil to the Instant Pot. Using the display panel select the SAUTE function.

  3. Add onion, carrots and celery to the pot and saute until onion is soft, 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add broth to the pot and deglaze by using a wooden spoon to scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pot.
  5. Put the sausage back into the pot, add sorted and rinsed beans and stir to combine.
  6. Turn the pot off by selecting CANCEL, then secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed.
  7. Using the display panel select the MANUAL function*. Use the +/-keys and program the Instant Pot for 60 minutes.
  8. When the time is up, let the pressure naturally release for 15 minutes, then quick-release the remaining pressure.
  9. Serve hot, alongside fresh cornbread (optional).

Notes

*The MANUAL and PRESSURE COOK buttons are interchangeable.
