Spicy Pressure Cooker Pinto Beans Food

THE BEST MEXICAN PINTO BEANS FOR THE PRESSURE COOKER

Steps:

• Dice the onion and tomato. Set them aside separately since you will be sauteing the onion first.
• Mince the garlic cloves.
• Set your Instant Pot to the "saute" function and heat 1 Tablespoon of oil. If you are using a classic pressure cooker, you can do this part on the stove over medium heat.
• Add the onion and a pinch of salt and stir. Saute for about 3 minutes.
• Add the minced garlic and stir around. Saute for another 2-3 minutes, but be careful not to let it burn, so stir frequently and adjust heat as needed.
• While the onions and garlic are cooking, rinse the beans under cool water and sort out any discolored or broken pieces.
• When the onions and garlic are done, cancel the saute function and add the rest of the ingredients to the pressure cooker bowl. Stir to combine.
• Secure the pressure cooker lid (make sure the pressure release valve is closed!) and turn on the "Pressure Cook" setting to "high pressure" if using an Instant Pot. (See photos in post step-by-step for visual)
• Set the timer for 45 minutes, and then walk away.
• After the beans are done cooking and the timer has beeped to signal that it is finished, manually release the pressure by switching the valve to open. Watch out for the sudden burst of steam that will escape!
• When the pressure is released, remove the lid and use a potato masher to mash up some of the beans. This part can be done to your preference, but I do just enough to thicken the beans a bit, while still leaving the majority of the beans whole. The beans will look very watery before you do this, and they will thicken even more as they cool from boiling hot.
• Serve immediately, or cool completely and freeze for up to 3 months.

INSTANT POT PINTO BEANS

Steps:

• Render Bacon in Instant Pot: Before you turn on the heat, layer 6 slices of bacon in Instant Pot. *Note: We are using Instant Pot's preheating heat to render & crisp the bacon. Heat up Instant Pot using "Sauté More" function. Flip bacon occasionally. Once Instant Pot says "HOT" (roughly 12 mins), the bacon should be done. Place bacon on a paper towel to absorb excess fat. If they are not done, brown for a few more minutes.
• Saute Onion and Jalapeno: Add onion slices and jalapeno in Instant Pot. Cook for 3 ½ minutes. While the onions and jalapeno are sauteing, cut the bacon into bit size.
• Saute Garlic and Spice: Add 3 bay leaves, ½ tsp ground cumin, ½ tsp dried oregano, and minced garlic in Instant Pot. Cook until fragrant (roughly 1 minute).
• Deglaze Instant Pot: Pour ½ cup (125ml) unsalted chicken stock in Instant Pot, then deglaze by scrubbing all the flavorful brown bits off the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon. Give it a quick mix.
• Pressure Cook Pinto Beans: Add 2 tbsp (30ml) regular soy sauce, half of the bacon bits, well-drained pinto beans, and 3 ½ cups unsalted chicken stock in Instant Pot. Mix well and make sure all the beans in Instant Pot are submerged in the liquid. Carefully layer the crushed fire-roasted tomatoes on the very top. Do not mix after this. Close the lid and turn the Venting Knob to Sealing Position. Pressure Cook at High Pressure 45 mins + 20 mins Natural Release. Open the lid carefully.
• Thicken & Season Mexican Beans: Release some of the starch by stirring with a wooden spoon over "Saute" function. Stir pinto beans until desired thickness. Taste the beans, then adjust seasoning accordingly (for reference, we added roughly 2 - 3 pinches of salt to season the Mexican Pinto Beans to open up the flavors).
• Garnish Instant Pot Pinto Beans: Give pinto beans a final taste, then garnish. If you like it spicy, you can garnish the Mexican beans with jalapeno. Garnish with chopped cilantro and the remaining crisped bacon bits. Serve these tasty pinto beans immediately, and enjoy~

• Cover and bring to a simmer. Then reduce the heat and simmer on medium-low to low for 2-4 hours, until the beans are very soft. *Even after soaking overnight, beans take a varied amount of time, base on how old they are. "New" dried beans will cook faster than beans that have been sitting in the pantry for months/years.
