  • Prep Time

  • Total Time
    1 hrs 5 mins

Ingredients

  • 1 package of dry navy beans (16 ounces), cleaned by rinsing and sorting
  • 8 cups of water
  • 1 chopped medium onion
  • 1 chopped green bell pepper
  • 2 minced garlic cloves
  • 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons of smoked paprika
  • 1 and 1/4 cups of vegetable broth
  • 1/4 cup of natural maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons of tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons of yellow mustard

Step 1

In a versatile pressure cooker like the Instant Pot ®, start by placing the beans and covering them with water. Seal the lid securely and opt for high pressure mode following the manufacturer's guidelines. Set the timer for 25 minutes and allow the pressure to rise for about 10 minutes.

Step 2

After cooking, use the quick release method as per the appliance's instructions, waiting approximately 5 minutes before draining the beans in a colander.

Step 3

Switch to the Saute function and introduce a medley of onion, bell pepper, garlic, a drizzle of oil, smoked paprika, and more garlic. Saute until the onions turn translucent, usually taking around 3 minutes. Then, turn off the heat.

Step 4

Reunite the beans with the aromatic mixture in the pot. Pour in broth, maple syrup, vinegar, tomato paste, and mustard. Gently stir to blend the flavors.

Step 5

Seal the lid, select high pressure, and set the timer for 10 minutes based on the manufacturer's directions. Allow the pressure to build for another 10 minutes. Release the pressure swiftly after cooking for roughly 5 minutes. Uncover the pot and let it rest for an additional 5 minutes to thicken before serving.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Organize Your Ingredients : Before starting the recipe, make sure to have all your ingredients laid out in an orderly manner. This will not only save you time but also prevent any last-minute scrambles.
  2. 2. Utilize Mason Jars : Store any leftover ingredients like diced onions, chopped garlic, or tomato paste in small mason jars. This way, you can easily see what you have on hand for future recipes.
