INSTANT POT® CUBAN-STYLE BLACK BEANS



Instant Pot® Cuban-Style Black Beans image

Black beans are a staple in Cuban cooking, typically served with either yellow or white rice. Give them a good squeeze of fresh lime juice, garnish with some chopped cilantro (we also add some chopped onion and a drizzle of olive oil), and you're in for a treat. These beans freeze well and reheat beautifully in the microwave.

You can use your pressure cooker to cook dried black beans from scratch in under an hour (way faster than soaking them overnight and cooking them on the stove!) And, you can skip buying them canned. If you do decide to soak, check your appliance manual because cooking time will be even shorter.

Tips:

  • Soak the beans overnight: Soaking the beans overnight helps to reduce the cooking time and makes them more digestible. If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the beans. Use a broth that is flavorful and has a good depth of flavor. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even beef broth.
  • Add some aromatics: Aromatics, such as onions, garlic, and celery, add a lot of flavor to the beans. Be sure to sauté them in a little bit of oil before adding them to the pot.
  • Season the beans well: Don't be afraid to season the beans well. Black beans can handle a lot of flavor. Salt, pepper, cumin, and chili powder are all good spices to use.
  • Cook the beans until they are tender: The beans should be tender but still hold their shape. The cooking time will vary depending on the type of beans you are using and the method you are using to cook them.

Conclusion:

Black beans are a versatile and delicious ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. They are a good source of protein, fiber, and vitamins. Instant Pot black beans are a quick and easy way to cook black beans. With just a few simple ingredients, you can have a pot of perfectly cooked black beans in no time.
