Easy & Flavorful No-Soak Black Beans
Mouthwatering, no-soak black beans, made in the Instant Pot.
Servings 8 - 10 (*before adjust amounts please read the notes below)
Equipment
- Instant Pot/Electric Pressure Cooker
Ingredients
- 1 lb dried black beans rinsed
- 1 medium white onion diced
- 2 Roma tomatoes diced
- 3 large cloves garlic (or 5 small) peeled and smashed
- 1 large jalepeño sliced
- 3 fresh bay leaves or sub dried, if fresh are unavailable
- 1/2 Tbsp ground cumin
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- 1 Tbsp sea salt
- 6 cups ”chicken”-flavored vegetable broth or sub vegetable broth
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to your Instant Pot.
- Close the lid and secure the valve to its "sealing" position. Use the manual setting to set the Instant Pot on high for 50 minutes. Once the 50 minutes is up, let the steam naturally release for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, carefully switch the valve to its "venting" position. Stand back and let all the steam release before opening the lid. Remove the bay leaves.
- Enjoy beans on their own, or added to your favorite Mexican dishes. To refry, use them in place of pinto beans in my recipe for PERFECT Vegan Refried Beans.
