Black turtle beans stew with carrots

Black turtle beans and carrot stew

I tried black turtled beans last week for the first time and I loved them! The recipe was definitely worth uploading.
I have used a pressure cooker for this recipe and please keep in mind that every brand is different! I followed the instructions for preparing legumes with a TOWER Stainless Steel pressure cooker.
