For a richer flavor, use smoked bacon. Adjust the amount of salt and pepper to your liking. If you don't have daikon radish, you can substitute turnips or potatoes. For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and use 2 tablespoons of olive oil instead.
Transform humble canned green beans into a savory, Southern-inspired delight with smoky bacon, sweet onions, and a tangy vinegar kick, all effortlessly pressure-cooked to perfection in your Instant Pot.
Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add bacon and cook until almost crispy, about 8 minutes. Take your time cooking the bacon in order to render out all the fat. Add onions and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes.
Pour in vinegar and scrape up the brown bits from the bottom of the pot. Pour in beans and their liquid; season with salt and pepper. Stir in radishes. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 5 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
