Notes
- Cooking time: If your dried beans have been sitting in storage for a long time, increase the cook time to 40-50 minutes to allow them to reach the perfect soft consistency.
- Soaked Beans: If you soak the black beans overnight, the cook time will reduce to 20-25 minutes. Reduce the water/broth for cooking to 1 cup.
- Season: Add jalapenos or cayenne pepper to taste for added spice.
- Soup: Add 2 additional cups of water or broth to the beans and increase pressure cook time to 50 minutes to soften beans. Mash some of the beans for added creaminess.
- Store: Cooked black beans will stay fresh for 3-5 days in the refrigerator or up to 6 months in the freezer. For best results, allow beans to cool to room temperature before refrigerating or freezing.
