Ingredients
•
2 cups dried navy beans
•
2 cups water
•
2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
•
3 tablespoons tomato paste
•
2 tablespoons maple syrup
•
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
•
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
•
1 tablespoon brown sugar
•
1 teaspoon garlic powder

salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Directions
1
Place navy beans in a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Add water and vegetable stock, stirring well. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 28 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
2
Release pressure carefully using the instant-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
3
Test beans for doneness. If they are not quite soft enough, cook in increments of 2 minutes using instant pressure release until you reach your desired doneness. Drain the beans reserving the bean liquid; set aside.
4
Combine tomato paste, maple syrup, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, garlic powder, and 1 1/4 cups of the reserved bean liquid in the pot. Add cooked beans and season with salt and pepper. Stir until beans are well coated. Select Saute function on low temperature.
5
Cook until mixture starts to bubble and slightly thicken, about 3 minutes. If mixture is too thick, add some more of the reserved bean liquid until you reach your desired consistency.
