Pretty, red-speckled cranberry beans are the star in this pressure cooker stew recipe. Although they lose their red specks as they cook, they turn out soft, with an almost creamy texture and subtle nutty flavor. If you can't find dried cranberry beans, you can use dried kidney beans instead. Dried beans need to be soaked overnight before cooking. If you are short on time, you can use the quick-soak method or the even faster quick-soak method using the pressure cooker.
