This is a variation of cooking basic beans in the pressure cooker. As I was craving beans, I just threw this together with what I had on hand and the result was very good!! The ham was leftover and I was out of fresh onions so I used onion powder. I only use a digital pressure cooker so I can't speak for how this will work for the old fashioned kind. This is a great dish - ready in under an hour, start to finish!!
Ingredients:
1 lb dried great northern beans
8 cups water
1 lb ham
2 teaspoons onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 dried bay leaves
1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes (because i put that in almost everything!)
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach
1 dash nutmeg
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
Directions:
1. Add washed, sorted dry beans to pressure cooker with the water.
2. Cut ham into bitesize chunks and add all seasonings.
3. Set to HIGH pressure for 20 - 25 minutes.
4. Use quick release method to release steam.
5. Stir in spinach and nutmeg. Heat through.
6. (My cooker has a Keep Warm setting that I leave it on till serving time.).
7. Great with crusty bread or cornbread!
