- After following the soaking method above, drain, put beans in a pressure cooker, add chopped onion, garlic, chicken broth, or other broth of your choice until it covers the beans. Cook on high pressure for 12 minutes.
Notes
Variations: Add chopped-up chicken, ham, sausage, or other uncooked protein to the top of beans.
If you don’t have a pressure cooker, just do it on the stovetop. Simply bring broth, beans, onion, garlic to a boil, cover, then turn down to simmer for about six hours, stirring occasionally. You might have to add more water or broth occasionally if the pan becomes dry.
In the meantime chop up any protein you have leftover and add it to the beans as they cook. Very easy, very satisfying.
