Instant Pot Black Beans
Description
Instant Pot Black Beans start with dry black beans that are rinsed and pressure-cooked briefly, then drained. A spice mixture including cumin, chili powder, coriander, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper is prepared separately. Bacon, diced onions, and poblano peppers are sautéed in the Instant Pot to develop savory depth, before adding the spices and minced garlic briefly. The beans and low-sodium chicken broth are combined with this aromatic mixture and pressure-cooked until tender, allowing the flavors to meld. A touch of green Tabasco adds brightness and mild heat after cooking. Letting the beans rest on 'Keep Warm' mode further deepens the flavor. These beans can complement many meals or be used in soups, tacos, or dips.
