Steps:
- Soak the beans in water and bicarb soda for 12 hours (overnight or during the day). They will double in size. Rinse and use right away or refrigerate in an airtight container for a maximum of 12-24 hours.
- Add the beans, water, vegetable stock cube, garlic, rosemary, onions and salt to the pot and mix through. Pop the lid on top, lock and make sure the top valve is pointing to Sealing. Press Manual/Pressure Cook, HIGH pressure and set for 10 minutes. The pressure build-up will take about 7-10 minutes. Once 10 minutes are up, allow the pressure to release naturally for 20-25 minutes.
- Open the lid (after quick release, if needed) and skim off the onions from the top. Remove the rosemary sprigs (the needles should fall off into the soup and can be eaten). Stir the beans.
- Depending on how soupy or thick you like your braised beans, you might want to discard about 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid.
- Now, to thicken the beans, add some of the cooked beans and the broth liquid to a blender or food processor (about 1 cup, see pics above) and blend until smooth and thick. Return the puree to the pot and stir through the beans. The starched puree will thicken the mixture.
- Finally, add the lemon juice and olive oil and stir through before serving. You can also add the olive oil once it is served.

Steps:
- Directions: Add all ingredients to the Instant Pot. Cover, twist to lock the lid, and turn the valve to sealing. Press the Beans/Chili button (or set to 30 Minutes). When the timer beeps, allow the pressure to release naturally for at least 20 minutes. Then, turn the valve to venting. Enjoy cooked beans over rice, or use as you would canned beans. If not using right away, store beans along with any excess liquid, in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to one week, or freeze for up to 6 months. Instant Pot Tips for cooking beans and saving even more time: Just as with the stovetop, there's no need to soak beans before cooking them in the Instant Pot. As you're preparing your ingredients, plug in the Instant Pot, and press the Sauté button. This will allow it to pre-heat, helping it to come to full pressure faster once you've selected Beans/Chili mode. After you've added your ingredients and locked the lid, press Off to end Sauté mode. Then, select Beans/Chili mode. If you prefer a slightly firmer bean texture, use the Manual mode and set the timer for anywhere from 25-27 minutes. Choosing the Beans/Chili mode cooks the beans for 30 minutes and is a no-brainer, but finding your perfect cooking time/texture is a personal preference that benefits from some experimenting. The general rule of thumb is 4 cups of liquid for every 1 cup of beans, but again, you can experiment for personal preference. As long as your beans are covered by at least 1 inch of liquid, you're good. When cooking beans, never fill the Instant Pot more than halfway full. Beans and grains expand and need the space to do so. As noted in the recipe, it's important to allow the pressure to release naturally for at least 20 minutes before turning the valve to venting.

Steps:
- Place beans, garlic, oil, salt, and rosemary (if using) in Instant Pot. Cover with 10 cups cold water. Seal lid and cook at high pressure 14 minutes.
- Release pressure manually. If some beans are still slightly undercooked, stir, cover, and use the Keep Warm function until cooked through.
- Do Ahead: Beans can be cooked 5 days ahead. Chill in cooking liquid in airtight containers, or freeze in cooking liquid up to 3 months.
Tips:
- Soak the beans overnight: Soaking the beans overnight helps to reduce the cooking time and makes them more digestible. If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
- Use a variety of beans: You can use any type of white bean for this recipe, such as Great Northern beans, navy beans, or cannellini beans. Using a variety of beans will give your dish a more complex flavor and texture.
- Add aromatics to the pot: Aromatics, such as garlic, onion, and celery, help to add flavor to the beans. You can also add other aromatics, such as bay leaves, thyme, or rosemary.
- Season the beans well: Don't be afraid to season the beans well with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as paprika, cumin, or chili powder.
- Cook the beans until they are tender: The beans should be cooked until they are tender but still hold their shape. Cooking time will vary depending on the type of bean you are using.
- Serve the beans with your favorite sides: White beans are a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, pasta, or vegetables.
Conclusion:
This instant pot white beans recipe is a great way to make a delicious and healthy meal in a short amount of time. The beans are cooked to perfection and are full of flavor. This recipe is also very versatile, as you can add a variety of ingredients to create a dish that is perfect for your taste.
