Ingredients

• 2 cups Dried black beans
• 6 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Onion, diced
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 Bell pepper, diced (any color)
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 Bay leaves
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
• 1 Lime wedges (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the dried black beans thoroughly under cold water and check for any debris. No soaking is required for this recipe.

Step 2

Set the 6-quart pressure cooker to the sauté function and heat the olive oil.

Step 3

Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and diced bell pepper to the pot. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, and dried oregano. Cook for 1 more minute to toast the spices and release their flavors.

Step 5

Add the rinsed black beans, water, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Give everything a good stir to combine.

Step 6

Secure the lid of the pressure cooker, ensuring the valve is set to the sealing position. Select the 'Manual' or ‘Pressure Cook’ function and set the time to 30 minutes on high pressure.

Step 7

After the cook time is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then perform a quick release to release any remaining pressure.

Step 8

Carefully open the lid and stir the beans. Discard the bay leaves and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper to taste, if needed.

Step 9

Serve the black beans hot, garnished with freshly chopped cilantro, and lime wedges on the side if desired. Enjoy as a standalone dish, over rice, or with tortillas.
