Notes

  • You can pre-boil your white beans and keep them in freezer or you can buy boiled white beans. This way you won't need a pressure cooker and you can cook your beans in a normal pot (or in a dutch oven as I suggest).
  • If you will cook your beans in a pot, pre-cook also your meats than follow above steps. It will take aproxximately 1 hour to cook your White Bean Stew with Meat.
