INSTRUCTIONS
Soak the black beans in 3 cups hot water for 2 hours. Drain them and set them aside.
Add 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 bay leaf, 1 tsp garlic, and 2 oz onion to the Instant Pot. Sauté for 2 minutes on the “Sauté” setting until fragrant.
Turn to “Meat/Stew” mode. Add 8 oz black beans and 3 cups hot water to the Instant Pot. Cover and seal the lid. Set the pressure release valve to the sealing position. Cook on high pressure for 25 minutes.
Allow the steam to release by turning the venting knob to the venting position. After the steam has fully escaped, carefully open the lid.
Set the Instant Pot back to “Sauté” mode. Continue to add 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp oregano, and 1 tsp lime juice to brighten up the flavors. Cook for 10 more minutes.
Remove the bay leaf (There is no need to drain liquid). Garnish with 2 tbsp chopped cilantro. Divide into single portions and serve hot.
