  • 1 lb dried navy beans soaked overnight
  • 3 cups water
  • 2 tbsp vegetable Better Than Bouillon paste
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary or 1 tablespoon dried rosemary leaves
  • to taste black pepper
  • 3-4 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Method
 

Directions
  1. Begin by selecting the sauté function on your Instant Pot. Add the avocado oil (or olive oil) and let it heat up. Once hot, add the diced yellow onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  2. After the onions and garlic are perfectly sautéed, add the soaked and drained navy beans to the pot. Pour in the water and stir in the vegetable Better Than Bouillon paste until it dissolves.
  3. Toss in the fresh rosemary (or dried rosemary leaves) and season generously with black pepper and sea salt. Give everything a good stir to combine all the flavors.
  4. Seal the Instant Pot lid and ensure the valve is set to sealing. Cook on high pressure for 30 minutes. Once the cooking time is complete, allow for a natural pressure release, which will take about 15-20 minutes.
  5. After the pressure has released, carefully open the lid. Stir in the fresh lemon juice, adjusting to taste. If the beans appear too thick, feel free to add a little more water to reach your desired consistency.
  6. Ladle the beans into a serving bowl and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. You can also add a sprinkle of additional black pepper if desired. Enjoy your Instant Pot White Beans with Lemon and Rosemary warm, either on their own or as a side dish!

Notes

  • For best flavor, soak the beans overnight.
  • Adjust lemon juice to your taste for acidity.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
