A pressure cooker shortens the overall cooking time for dried beans. Be sure to soak them in advance. This softens the beans and helps to ensure even cooking. Serve this warm salad with our racks of lamb, which are coated with a savory crust.

beans - 1 yellow onion, quartered
- 2 garlic cloves, lightly crushed with the side of a
knife, plus 2 garlic cloves, minced - 1 bay leaf
