Ingredients

1 pound navy beans (~2 cups)
1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 small onion, diced (~1 cup)
3 garlic cloves, minced (~1 ½ teaspoons)
6 cups water or broth (~1 inch above top of beans)
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 whole sprig rosemary
1 Tablespoon chopped, fresh rosemary
2 Tablespoons lemon juice
Salt to taste (after cooking)

Instructions

Place beans in a colander and rinse under cold water. Pick out any rocks or beans that are broken or shriveled.
Set Instant Pot to sauté setting. Add oil. Once oil is simmering, add the onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, stirring frequently.
Add the beans, water, bay leaf, salt, whole sprig of rosemary, and chopped rosemary. Set Instant Pot to Bean/Chili setting and turn valve to seal. Pressure cook for 45 minutes.
Once cooked, allow pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes, then turn to release pressure valve. Add lemon juice and any additional salt to taste. Enjoy!

Notes

This recipe calls for 45 minutes of cooking time plus 10 minutes of natural release time. This will create tender beans. However, if you prefer firmer beans, decrease the cooking time by 5 minutes.

If you soak your beans before cooking, cooking time will decrease significantly.
