Ingredients
1 pound (455g) dry white beans (cannelloni or navy beans)
1/4 cup olive oil
3 carrots, peeled and diced
3 celery stalks, diced
1 onion, finely chopped
5-6 garlic cloves, grated
28 ounces (800g) crushed tomatoes
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
salt to taste
freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
12 cups water or vegetable stock
For the Gremolata:

1 cup finely chopped parsley leaves
1/2 cup finely chopped rosemary leaves
2 garlic cloves, grated
2 lemons, zest and juice
salt to taste
a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 cup olive oil
Instructions
Rinse the beans and if you can, soak them overnight in a bowl covered with cold water.
Set the Instant pot to the Saute feature and add the olive oil, onion, carrots, and celery. Saute until soft. About 8-10 minutes.
Drain the water from the beans and add them to the pot.
Add the garlic, tomatoes, seasonings, and the water/broth.
Close the lid and set the valve to the sealed position.
Pressure cook on high for 40 minutes.
Allow the pressure to naturally release for 20 minutes.
Open the valve to release any remaining pressure.
Check the beans for doneness. If they’re still not soft, either pressure cook for an additional 10 minutes or saute until they’re tender.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Make the Gremolata: Combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl and mix together. Store the leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Serve the soup with feta,olives, toasted bread, and the gremolata.

    Looks delicious !

  2. Jacqueline Massinello

    I haven’t used my new instant pot yet !! But I’m going to give this a try !! Thanks for the video
    I love your Greek recipes also .. my boss was Greek and she was a fantastic cook and baker .. thanks again !!

    100% on point about the salt at the start.
    1. You could definitely use some vegetable stock that you can make easily at home
    2. Can put some extra concentrated tomato paste just before you finish the sauté
    3. Tomato sause (passata) is better if you dont like the tomato pieces
    4. If you want extra flavour and a bit thicker soup you can add one tablespoon of finely crushed "trahana"
    5. eat it with some salty fish, feta or any other salty delicacy you enjoy and fresh bread
    I love it. Thank you!!!

    Dear Demetra if you want to cut the time of cooking dry beans of any kind you got to soak them the night before in boil water and put a teaspoon of baking soda.
    This is a tip in my family for many Generation.
    I am from the Middle East Israel.
    you will be surprised how much time cooking you will save without even a pressure cooker.
    Also we add about a half teaspoon fresh ground cinnamon or a stick.
    The Taste is amazing!!
    Especially 4A cold winter day-!❄☔
    Keep up the great recipes.
    We love them and appreciated.
    Thank u.🌹

    Soaking beans overnight is the way to go , as a person of Indian origin some kind pulses are a part of our lunch most days so it is ingrained into us to soak them overnight as our moms did. Thank you for another great recipe.

    Nice recipe, I have always loved beans and they make good meals especially when you want some break from meaty dishes.
    Beans, legumes and cereals have a compound in their skins which hardens when they are let on the shelf for too long and this chemical makes it hard to cook. Also, when you wash them always leave some water and not let the air on the surface of the seeds. The air also makes them form a layer which makes them hard to cook, especially wheat and barley…..Thanks Dimitra.

    Lemony "fasolada" it's very traditional with "selino" also as addon. Celery leafs are closer to "selino". Try to make a topping, "gremolata", of celery leafs, fresh dices of tomato fillets, the juice of the tomatoes, olive oil, roasting garlic purè, fine chopped scallions and lemon juice.

    I’m making this recipe right now. It is good to eat a nice bowl of soup in a cold day like today. Thank you.

    Ωραία φασολάδα γεια στα χέρια σας χαιρετίσματα από την Ελλάδα 👋🏻👏🏻❤️💝

  24. Norga

    Not sure about the topping…i think nothing beats topping the fasolda it with olive oil and dry mint

  25. Gary Golden

    Gigantes basic Lima beans is what you need to use with fresh ingredients. However don't be afraid to add extra fresh ingredients.

  26. Linda Nguyen

    Dimitra, I made this for dinner tonight and was amazing and flavourful! Thanks so much for sharing your recipe

  29. Jenelle Blevins

    This soup is fantastic – thank you so very much for the recipe. I used canned beans and cannot wait to try it with the soaking method.

  30. Tony Klothos

    If you want some quick acidity, add your favourite mustard. Not sure why no one knows about this trick that brings fasolada to a whole different level.

  32. Adem Tas

    Add soujouk or diced beef or ground beef for cold winter days. We also add tomato paste in the beginning so it gets little thicker and then we eat it with rice.
    Love it! 😋
