Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    Cannellini beans - cooked perfectly following her instructions with quick soak. There were quite a few wrinkly beans left after the quick soak, so I pressure cooked them in the InstantPot as directed, but for 9 mins rather than 8, and they were perfect. Next time I might increase the quick soak time by 1 min (to 3 mins) and pressure cook for 8. (Eating some of the beans warm from the pressure cooker, using her mini directions in A Pot of Cannellini Beans (a couple of pages over) and the rest go into recipe-sized bags in the freezer.

    This section includes the method for quick soaking and cooking beans, and the Basic timings for beans. As she notes, the basic timings can vary a bit depending on the age of your beans plus the pressure cooker you are using. The other bean-cooking guide that I trust has longer times for some beans, and the Instant Pot usually needs a bit longer than other PCs. So I start towards the upper end. [UPDATE: I have used her guides here for lots of beans and pulses, and timings are very good. I follow her process on pp 208-9 for flavoursome, great results each time.]
