    Instapot Black Beans with Chorizo

    I have tried various black beans recipes before but this one is my favorite so far. I modified the recipe at the link to include Mexican chorizo and chicken broth but you could easily leave out the meat and use veggie broth to make it vegetarian.

    1 lb dried black beans – washed and sorted *
    1 tube Mexican chorizo *
    1/2 cup white onion (recipe said 1 cup but I always halve the onion in my recipes) *
    1 can mild Rotel tomatoes *
    5 cups chicken broth *
    1 tablespoon olive oil *
    2 cloves garlic (1 tbsp chopped) *
    2 tsps ground cumin *
    1 tbsp chili powder *
    Salt to taste *

    Using the saute function, I sautéed the onion and chorizo in the olive oil for 4 minutes.

    Then I added the garlic and sautéed for 1 minute more

    Next add the remainder of the ingredients. Give it a good stir and attach the lid. Cook on high pressure for 40-50 minutes*. Natural release for 20 minutes. Then let off the rest of the steam.

    Serve over rice.

    *While I am really happy with the results, I think I should have cooked the beans longer than 40 minutes like the recipe said. I would have liked them to be a little more tender. Next time I’ll try 50 mins.

    I’ve tried a bunch of recipes, but my favourite by far is very simple: for 1 lb black beans, I put 1/2 a head of garlic and two sprigs of epazote (Dysphania ambrosioides) in the bottom of the slow cooker, before adding the soaked beans.

  5. If this is a wrong question i apologize. But… can i ask about the “Cake” button?

    You halve the onions, I will 1.5x it to make up the difference.
