Instructions
- In a large bowl, soak beans in double amount of water for a minimum of two hours.
- Drain and rinse beans after they have soaked.
- Add beans, onion, garlic, cilantro and water to the Instant Pot and set on high pressure for 40 minutes.
- After 40 minutes, set to quick release.
- While the Instant Pot is releasing, warm oil in a saucepan on the stovetop over medium high heat. Add in ingredients for the sofrito, except the vinegar. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until onions begin to soften. Once onions have softened, turn off heat and carefully mix in the vinegar.
- Remove lid from the Instant Pot once it has depressurized. Remove the cilantro, onion chunks. (Garlic can stay.)
- Drain the beans and it's liquids over a large bowl to reserve the liquids. Return the beans to the Instant Pot and add in the sofrito mix, stir gently and add in about 1 cup of the reserved liquid and set the IP to seal.
- Cook on high pressure an additional 20 minutes.
- Once the beans have cooked a second time, allow it to release naturally before removing the lid.
- Once the lid is removed, stir the beans. Remove most of the extra liquid (leaving about 1/2 cup) and set it to the side.
- Using an immersion blender, blend the beans. If the beans are too thick, you can add in some of the reserved liquid until it reaches desired consistency.
- Taste for any additional salt and pepper.
