Ingredients | Pressure Cooker Black Beans Serious Eats

3 cups dried black beans

9 cups water

1 onion, diced

3 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, diced

2 teaspoons cumin seeds

2 teaspoons black mustard seeds

salt to taste

1 cup water as needed

Directions

Place black beans into a large container and cover with 9 cups water; let stand 8 hours to overnight. Drain and rinse beans.

Combine beans, onion, olive oil, garlic, cumin seeds, mustard seeds, and salt in a pressure cooker; add enough water as suggested by pressure cooker manual.

Cook beans according to pressure cooker manual until tender; season with salt.

Most beans benefit from adding 1 1/2 teaspoons salt to soaking water.

I add 1 teaspoon Sriracha and 1 tablespoon Cholula(R) hot sauces per bowl when eating as a soup.

If your manual lists 2 cooking times, use the longest recommended cooking time.
