Instant Pot Cranberry Beans

Step 1

Rinse cranberry beans (optional): Add dried cranberry beans to a bowl and cover with water for 5-10 minutes, the drain and set aside.

Step 2

Cook cranberry beans: Add 2 cups cranberry beans, 6 cups water, ½ teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons herbs, and 1 teaspoon oil to an Instant Pot or pressure cooker and close the lid securely. Cook on on high pressure, or on the “Beans” setting, for 11 minutes. When done, release the pressure immediately.

Step 3

Drain and serve (or store): When the beans are done, remove them from the pressure cooker and drain. Serve immediately by mixing into salads, soups, or as a side dish, or store for later use (see storing instructions in notes).
