Ingredients

  • 1 lb dried black beans
  • 3 cups water
  • 4 oz can diced green chiles
  • 1 onion, quarted
  • 2 cloves garlic, or 1 tsp minced
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce (gluten free)
  • 2 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Pick through the black beans, removing any bad pieces or debris. Rinse and drain.
  • Add water, green chiles, onion, garlic, bay leaves and cumin into the Instant Pot. Close lid and turn knob to sealing. Cook on high for 40 minutes followed by a 10 minute natural release (or full natural release is fine too). Turn knob to venting to release any remaining pressure.
  • Add salt, Worcestershire sauce and stir. The large pieces of onion and garlic will disintegrate as you stir. Remove bay leaves and discard.
  • Serve with chips or over salads, in soups, or as a side to your favorite mexican dish.
