Bean salad Blue Hilde in the Fissler pressure cooker.

ingredients

  • 150 g of white beans
  • water
  • onion
  • Apple Cider Vinegar
  • Stevia or other sweetener to taste
  • pepper
  • salt
  • Pumpkin seed oil or whatever else you would use

preparation

  1. Soak the beans overnight and simmer.
  2. Cover it with plenty of water for about 25 minutes in the Fissler pressure cooker and then let it cool slowly. When cooking, you must not add salt, because this would prevent the softening of the beans. Too rapid cooling z. B. under running cold water would bring the beans to shatter. This may be useful or desirable for other foods, but not for the bean salad.
  3. The beans cost, if they are already soft enough, if not, again for 10 minutes deliver.
  4. Strain the beans and rinse with water.
  5. With apple cider vinegar and water, as well as sweetener, I've used 2 drops of liquid stevia here, seasoning salt and pepper. Oil is always abundant with me.
  6. Onion is finely chopped and mixed under the salad.
  7. Ready is the bean salad! This keeps in the fridge for about 3 days.

You could also cook it with the vinegar mixture in the dishwasher in glasses. I have not tried this with the beans yet, but with Fisolen - so with the green beans. That held up well in the glass.


As a variety, I have chosen the beans of the blue Fisolenart: Blue Hilde. This is characterized by the fact that it has no fibers and brings a very large yield.

Usually one uses of this variety the green beans or Fisolen as they are called in Austria. But since the harvest was very rich in the previous year, I have been able to reap many ripe beans. B. have found their use in bean salad.

The beans were white when dried and then became brownish after cooking.


To be honest, I did not think I would ever cook dried beans again. Because in the past, after cooking in an ordinary saucepan overnight, I cooked them in a normal saucepan with a lid and still they were not soft.

I really had no desire and patience for that! Beans that are not through, d. H. inside are still hard, also cause bloating.

When I read in the cooking scheduler of Fissler that you can even cook beans with such a pressure cooker, of course I had to convince myself. I wanted to give the beans a chance.


And I'm really positively surprised by the result! What makes me happy is that the beans soften after only 25 minutes plus slow cooling in the closed pot.

Since we like to eat beans, I'm starting to cook beans again. But only in the pressure cooker. Alone from the time and cost factor recommended!

The out of the can come only in emergencies for use when I z. B. should not feel like cooking.

Info:

For the pressure cooker itself, I would like to mention that I give all parts of it in the dishwasher. Also the sealing ring. Although it is in the manual, that you can not give all the parts in the dishwasher, but I do it anyway. I've done that in the past with the other devices that I had. The only thing that is especially important is to check the sealing ring for cracks etc.

It may then be natural that the high heat plus dishwashing detergent will make the rubber porous over time.

In my opinion, it should be renewed from time to time for your own safety, depending on how much you use the pressure cooker.

I really like the cooking time finder that comes with the pressure cooker. It looks like the lid of the Fissler pressure cooker and on both sides you will find recommended cooking times to meat, legumes, vegetables, steamed pastry, etc. I find this cooking timesfinder from the optical very nice and of course its usefulness very helpful and useful.

Also, it is stable processed, so that you have more pleasure in it. Due to its smooth surface, it is also easy to wipe off with a damp cloth.

What I do not like so much is the sealing ring itself. This is constructed in such a way that it is doubly safer in terms of its effect (it closes the pot both from above and from below) - but it makes it more difficult to clean.

Therefore, I wash it first with a dishcloth so that I get to its interior with it. That's a bit difficult to explain here. The circular rubber looks like a U. Inside, I think it's easy to imagine without a photo.
