Step 1

Measure out 2 cups of dry beans. Sort through the beans to make sure there aren't any stones or discolored beans.

Step 2

Add all ingredients to the instant pot and give it a stir.

Step 3

Place lid on instant pot and turn valve to "sealing". Cook on high pressure for 60 minutes. Based on my experience testing this recipe, it took that long for the large lima beans to get tender. This makes the total cook time 1 hr and 30 minutes.*To err on the side of caution you can start lower at 50 minutes and just add more time as needed.After it beeps, use a pot holder or long utensil to turn the valve to "VENTING" using the quick release. Be very careful not to have your hand over the valve because it will release steam and burn your hand.

Step 4

Add presoaked beans and all other ingredients to the instant pot. Place lid on instant pot and turn the valve to "sealing". Cook on high pressure for 12 minutes. This makes the total cook time ~30 minutes. *You can add more minutes if needed to get them to your desired level of tenderness. I found that this method does give some shells. I don't mind it but I know some people do!

Step 5

Saute onions in olive oil or butter for ~2 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add all other ingredients to the pot. Bring to a boil.Once it's boiling, reduce to a simmer and cook until tender.
