Instant Pot Black Beans (Soaked and dried)

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 50 minutes

Ingredients

1 cup black beans (dried)

3 cups water (Use 2 cups water for soaked black beans)

1/2 tsp salt

Directions

Soak the black beans in fridge for 12 hours or overnight. Though soaking is optional, I usually soak my black beans.

Wash the soaked or dried black beans a couple of times and add them to the Instant pot inner pot.

Then add water, salt, and flavoring agent. Close the Instant pot with its lid and seal the vent.

Select manual or pressure cook mode and cook it for 9 minutes on high pressure for soaked black beans. Cook it for 30 minutes on high pressure for dried black beans.

Once the Instant pot finishes cooking, wait 15 minutes and manually release the pressure. You can wait for natural pressure release also. Strain the cooked beans, and the Instant pot black beans are ready to use in any recipe.
