How to Cook Instant Pot Black BeansPrepare ingredients for cooking Black Beans in Instant Pot. Black BeansBlack beans, aka “turtle beans” or “black turtle beans”, are small shiny black-colored legumes. They taste dense, meaty, earthy, wholesome, and hearty & creamy on the inside when perfectly cooked. They’re often used in vegetarian dishes and soups. Especially popular in Latin American, Mexican, and Cuban cuisines. In fact, they have become a cultural staple in South America! Black beans are low cost, super filling, and health-boosting powerhouses. They’re a very good source of low-fat protein, fiber, antioxidants, and are great for our digestive tract. 🙂 Amy + Jacky’s Tips – Use Fresh Dry Beans: Although beans have a relatively long shelf life, older beans may take a much longer cooking time to soften. Sometimes the black beans can get so old and stale (even on store shelves) that they won’t cook properly even after a long cooking time. If possible, it’s best to use fresh dry beans. How to Buy and Store Black Beans? Make sure the black beans are whole and not cracked, dry and not moist, fresh and not old or stale. It’s best to store the black beans in a dry, cool, and dark place in a sealed container. Unsalted vs. Salted Chicken StockWe develop recipes with unsalted ingredients because we can better control the flavors of the dish. If you’re substituting with salted chicken stock, keep in mind that the sodium level can vary a lot between different brands. Always taste and adjust accordingly. Preparation First, rinse black beans under cold running water. Pick out debris or stones if there are any. Then, drain well. Step 1 Saute Onion, Herbs, Garlic in Instant PotFirst, heat up Instant Pot by using the “Sauté More” function. Wait until the Instant Pot says “HOT”. Amy + Jacky’s Tip! Make sure the Instant Pot is as hot as it can be to induce Maillard reaction. Add 1 tbsp (15ml) olive oil in Instant Pot. Add chopped onions in Instant Pot, then saute for 3 minutes. Add 1 tsp (2.7g) ground cumin, 1 tsp (0.6g) oregano, and 3 bay leaves in Instant Pot, then saute for another minute. Add minced garlic in Instant Pot, then saute for 30 seconds. Step 2 Deglaze Instant PotPour 1 cup (250ml) unsalted stock in Instant Pot, then deglaze by scrubbing all the flavorful brown bits off the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon. Give it a quick mix. Step 3 Pressure Cook Black BeansAdd 1 lb (454g) black beans and ½ tsp coarse kosher salt (can substitute with fine salt) in Instant Pot. Amy + Jacky’s Tips! Don’t worry! Adding salt to the black beans won’t make it tough. Pour 5 cups (1.25L) unsalted chicken stock in Instant Pot, then give it a quick mix. With Venting Knob in Venting Position, close the lid, then turn Venting Knob to Sealing Position. Pressure Cooking Method: Pressure cook at High Pressure for 50 minutes, then Natural Release for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, release the remaining pressure by turning the Venting Knob to Venting Position. When Floating Valve drops, open the lid carefully. Step 4 Season & Serve Instant Pot Black BeansThe black beans in Instant Pot is done! Taste and season with more salt. For reference, 3 to 4 large pinches of salt work the best based on our testing.
