Instructions
- Rinse and drain black beans. Discard and beans that are cracked or split in half, as well as any rocks or debris.
- Press the saute button on the Instant Pot and add the olive oil. When hot, add the onions and bell pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions become translucent.
- Add the bay leaves, garlic, salt, cumin and oregano. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring continuously.
- Add the water and rinsed black beans. Stir everything together to combine.
- Cover with lid, seal the pressure valve and cook on high pressure for 35 minutes.
- When the timer goes off, let the pressure release naturally for 20 minutes, then carefully open the pressure valve to manually release any remaining pressure.
- Discard the bay leaves and serve immediately with chopped cilantro for garnish.
Notes
- Do you like your black beans to have a good amount of broth? To make them a little more "soup-y", add 5 cups of water instead.
