Instructions

) In the Instapot using the saute setting, cook the ham hocks, shallots, and leeks until soft.
) Add all of the remaining ingredients to the pot.
) Secure lid and change setting to high pressure (my Instant pot has a button for "beans/chili" that I press to set to "Normal" for 30 minutes.
) When the time is up, allow the pressure cooker to do a complete natural release before removing the lid, It will take 35-45 minutes.
