There is a restaurant that serves an amazing rice and beans dish, and this was my inspiration for making this dish. It's so simple to make, and I love to make big batches of these and freeze them for later uses in tacos or anything I can.
Cooking dried beans on a stovetop can take quite a while, but using a pressure cooker to make these, changes the cooking time to less than ten minutes.
This is such a simple recipe, just a handful of basic ingredients and it takes a few minutes to put together. It is incredibly budget friendly; you can double or triple this and once completely cooled store away in your freezer for any recipe that calls for baked beans.
We will be using dried beans in this recipe which I will be soaking over night. Soaking it helps with the cooking time as well as with digestion.
1. Rinse and drain dried beans well.
2. Cover beans with water and soak overnight.
3. The next day, drain and rinse well.
4. Add beans to Instant Pot insert and cover beans with water.
5. Add seasonings, salt, black pepper ground cumin, poultry seasoning, and chili powder
6. Grate in onion and garlic.
7. Place Instant Pot on Pressure Cook, with lid on sealing and cook for 6-7 minutes.
8. Manually release pressure or leave alone to release.
9. Add your chopped cilantro and give everything a miix.
