I have been cooking dried black beans from scratch in my Instant Pot for about a year and might have perfected this recipe!
Ingredients:
- 2 Tbs olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 green or red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 1/2 tsp oregano
- 1/2 Tbs ground cumin
- 1/4 - 1/2 tsp red chili flakes
- 1/4 - 1/2 tsp chipotle powder
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 1/2 Tbs balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 Tbs maple syrup
- 2 cups (unsoaked) dried black beans
- 3 cups vegetable both
- 2 fresh tomatoes
- tomato paste
- salt and pepper
- Switch Instant Pot to saute mode. When hot, add oil, onion, garlic. Stir and cook for 5 minutes. Add green pepper, saute for a few more minutes.
- Stir in oregano, cumin, red pepper flakes, chipotle powder, bay leaves, balsamic vinegar and maple syrup.
- Add (non-soaked) dried black beans and broth.
- Close the lid and cook for 35 minutes on high pressure. When done, let the pressure come down naturally.
- Remove the lid. Add fresh tomatoes, tomato paste, cilantro, salt and pepper to taste. Cover the lid and let sit for 5-10 minutes before serving.
