Method
- Rinse and soak the haricot beans in a bowl of cold water for about 8 hours or overnight.
- When you’re ready to cook, heat the sunflower oil in the uncovered pressure cooker pan over a medium heat. Add the bacon, cook for a few minutes until it begins to brown, then stir in the onion and garlic. Carry on cooking for a further 4-5 minutes until softened.
- Drain the beans, then add them to the pan along with the other remaining ingredients. Mix everything together well.
- Secure the lid, then bring the cooker up to pressure. Once the correct pressure has been reached, lower the heat. Cook for 40 minutes.
- Reduce the pressure using the quick-release method (see manufacturer’s instructions) and remove the lid. Test the beans for tenderness; the sauce should be thick enough to coat them. Season to taste, then serve with buttered slices of toasted sourdough bread.
