SPICY SLOW COOKER PINTO BEANS



Spicy Slow Cooker Pinto Beans image

This makes a lot of beans--a 7-quart slow cooker's worth! This is not fast cooking, but low and slow. And it's not a low-calorie/low-fat meal. My mother started this recipe and was a staple in our home growing up. My brother has perfected it and shared it with us. Serve with anything you desire. In our home, it's tortillas and eggs! These freeze well and reheat/refry beautifully.

Categories     side-dish

Time 35m

Yield 2 cups cooked beans

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 cup pinto beans, unsoaked
4 cups water
1 tablespoon oil

Steps:

  • Pick over beans, rinse and drain. Be sure to not fill the pressure cooker above the halfway mark. Combine ingredients in the cooker and cook for 22 to 25 minutes.

When cooking time is up, quick release pressure by placing cooker under cold running water. Drain immediately. Always clean the lid and vent thoroughly after cooking beans.
  • Optional presoak: Cook the beans under high pressure for 1 minute, using 4 cups of water per cup of dried beans. Quick release the pressure under cold running water, drain and rinse the beans. Always discard any loose or free floating bean skins before further cooking. Follow cooking instructions above but adjust cooking time to 7 to 10 minutes.

SPICY PRESSURE COOKER PINTO BEANS



Spicy Pressure Cooker Pinto Beans image

Adjust the amount of jalapeno to suit your taste, or use a mild or hot salsa instead of medium; I would not like these any spicier than they already are. I make these in a pressure skillet, a shallow version of a pressure cooker. The beans are soupy, but you can cook them a little longer in the open pan to reduce the liquid if you prefer thicker "juice". I use Herdez salsa casera for this.

Time 32m

Yield 3 1/2 cups, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup dried pinto bean, rinsed and picked over
1 smoked ham hock
2 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped
1 cup chunky salsa, medium heat
3 cups filtered water
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Steps:

  • Throw it all in the pressure cooker and cook 27 minutes.
  • Let it cool down on its own before opening, the salt and acid in the salsa make the beans a little firm and the carryover cooking is beneficial.
  • Boil, uncovered, for a few minutes to reduce the sauce.

Tips:

  • For a smokier flavor, toast the pinto beans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes before cooking.
  • Use vegetable broth instead of water for a more flavorful dish.
  • Add a bay leaf or two to the cooking liquid for extra flavor.
  • If you don't have a pressure cooker, you can cook the beans in a slow cooker on low for 8-10 hours or until tender.
  • Serve the beans with your favorite sides, such as rice, roasted vegetables, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Spicy pressure cooker pinto beans are a quick and easy way to enjoy a delicious and healthy meal. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a pot of tender, flavorful beans that are perfect for any occasion. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
