Ingredients:

• lima beans, dry 1 lb
• carrots, roughly chopped 2 large
• celery stalks 4
• garlic, whole, peeled 2-3
• onion, yellow, roughly chopped 1/2
• bay leaf 1-2
• peppercorns, black 1/2 tsp
• salt 1/4 tsp

1. Sort and wash limas, place in pressure cooker. Add carrots, celery, onion, garlic, spices, and salt to the limas.
2. Add 6 cups of water. If your pressure cooker is the classic-style "jiggler" type, add a tablespoon of vegetable oil as well.
3. Put lid on cooker, bring to boiling over medium heat.
4. When pressure reaches 15 lb/in² start timer: 15 minutes is typical cooking time, but varies with age and condition of limas, altitude and equipment.
5. When time has elapsed remove cooker from heat and run cold water over lid until pressure drops. (Follow your cooker's instructions—could differ from those given here.)
6. Open lid, taste limas to make sure sufficiently cooked. If some are still hard, return to heat and pressure cook for 2-3 more minutes, quick cool and check again.
7. Remove vegetables, bayleaf, etc., to separate dish. With a slotted spoon carefully remove limas to strainer leaving liquid in cooker.
8. Save liquid as "bean stock", can be very useful for preparing other recipes! Vegetables can be pureed and added to stock or other dishes as flavor enhancer.
