Ingredients

  • 1 cup of dried black beans
  • 1 cup of white rice
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon of cumin
  • 1 teaspoon of chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika
  • 4 cups of vegetable broth
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Instant Pot
  • Cutting board
  • Knife
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Wooden spoon

Method

  1. First, rinse the black beans and soak them in water overnight, or for at least 8 hours. Drain and rinse the beans before using.
  2. Turn on the Instant Pot and select the sauté function. Add the olive oil, onion, and garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent.
  3. Add the cumin, chili powder, and smoked paprika, and stir to combine.
  4. Add the black beans, rice, and vegetable broth to the Instant Pot, and stir well.
  5. Close the lid of the Instant Pot and turn the valve to the sealing position.
  6. Select the manual pressure function and set the timer for 25 minutes.
  7. Once the timer goes off, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes before turning the valve to the venting position to release any remaining pressure.
  8. Remove the lid and stir the beans and rice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges if desired.

Notes

  • If you don't have time to soak the black beans overnight, you can use the quick soak method. Place the black beans in a pot with enough water to cover them by a few inches, bring to a boil, and boil for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 1 hour before draining and rinsing the beans.
  • You can also use canned black beans instead of dried. If using canned, drain and rinse them before adding them to the Instant Pot.
  • If you prefer a spicier dish, you can add more chili powder or a diced jalapeño pepper to the recipe.
  • This recipe can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Recipe Tips

  • If you don't have vegetable broth on hand, you can use water and a bouillon cube.
  • Leftovers can be reheated in the Instant Pot or on the stovetop. If the dish is too dry, you can add a splash of vegetable broth or water to moisten it.
  • This recipe is versatile and can be customized to your tastes. Add diced bell peppers, corn, or diced tomatoes for extra flavor and nutrition.
