A comforting and flavorful stew made with ham and beans, perfect for a cozy meal.
Place the ham bone into the pressure cooker.
Breaking the ham bone into smaller pieces can help it fit better and release more flavor.
Add the dried beans and cover with cold water, ensuring the pressure cooker is not more than two-thirds full.
Rinse the beans beforehand to remove any debris or dust.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, black pepper, and dried onion over the beans.
Adjust the seasoning to your taste preferences.
Lock the lid of the pressure cooker, bring to pressure, and cook for 25 minutes.
Ensure the pressure cooker is properly sealed before starting.
Let the pressure release naturally for 15 minutes, then carefully release any remaining pressure.
Use a towel or oven mitt to handle the pressure release valve for safety.
Open the lid and add the diced tomatoes with their juice and the cooked ham pieces.
Stir gently to combine the ingredients evenly.
Simmer the stew for 20 minutes to meld the flavors.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Serve the stew hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Pair with crusty bread for a complete meal.
