Preparation
Step 1
Directions:
Rinse and then soak the beans in water overnight. Drain.
Heat the oil in the pressure cooker and sauté the onion and garlic slowly until the onion is wilted. Stir in the paprika. Remove from the pressure cooker and set aside.
Combine the beans in the pressure cooker with 6 cups (1.4 l) water, onion halves, carrot, leek, bacon and sausage. Lock the lid in place and bring to pressure, then lower heat and cook for 15 minutes. Allow pressure to drop by the quick release method [2] or automatic release method [3] and remove the lid. Add the reserved sautéed onion and garlic, salt to taste. Lock the lid in place and bring to pressure again, then lower heat and cook for 20 minutes.
While beans finish cooking, prepare the cabbage in a skillet. Heat the oil, add the onion and garlic and sauté until the onion is wilted. Add the cabbage, salt and pepper to taste and stir fry about 10 minutes. Cover and continue cooking to taste.
Once the cooking time for the beans has elapsed, allow pressure to drop by the quick release method [2] or automatic release method [3] and remove the lid. Serve the beans in soup bowls with a generous dollop of the cabbage in each bowl and accompanied by crusty bread.
Suggested time for fast 15 psi pressure cookers: Cook for 15+20 minutes on high pressure.
