Anything goes bean stew/soup dish.
The basic Ingredients:
- Beans: White haricot are my favourite. Almost any beans are good
- Meat: Something tasty, any of: sausage, bacon, mutton, turkey, smoked...
- Veggies: Onion, potatoes
- Herbs: Garlic, thyme, rosemary, bay leaf, parsley, Juniper berries, S&P
The process:
- Add to pot and cook.
- Keep the beans to the meat ratio high on the beans side.
- Liquids (Stock): 3 to 1 ratio to the beans, more means a soup. Also consider some flour as this will make for a rich liquid.
- Add to pressure cooker and cook for 30 minutes with the heaviest weight.
