Ingredients
 

  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil 
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1/2 bunch fresh parsley, washed and chopped
  • 1/2 bunch fresh dill, washed and chopped
  • 2-16 ounces cans cannellini beans, drained, reserve liquid of 1
  • 1 large bunch greens, washed and chopped (collards, swiss chard, dandelion greens, spinach, arugula, kale, broccoli raab, beet greens, etc..)
  • 1-8 ounces can Hunt's tomato sauce or 1 small can diced tomatoes
  • 1 pinch salt
  • Black pepper, to taste

Method
 

  1. Prep all ingredients to be ready to go into the instant pot. Having everything opened, chopped, and measured out is very important for this recipe.
  2. Set Instant Pot to saute. Add extra virgin olive oil and wait one minute to heat up.
  3. Add the onion and garlic. Stir with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula. Saute for one minute.
  4. Add the tomato paste, parsley, and dill. Stir until tomato paste starts to incorporate.
  5. Add greens, beans, tomato sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir gently but well.
  6. Cover the Instant Pot and lock it. Set the manual time for 5 minutes. Make sure the vent is set to "sealing" not "venting". Wait for the Instant Pot to do its magic.
