minutesThis recipe is from my Grandma Carlson. When I make these beans I think of her. Her house was always filled with wonderful aromas! She was a fantastic cook! When she made them she would soak the beans overnight and cook for several hours during the day. I love that I can have the same beans in less than an hour – starting with dry beans! She would have loved electric pressure cookers!
Ingredients
1 pound black beans
1 medium onion
3 large stalks celery
2 – 3 cloves garlic, minced
5 teaspoons oil
1 jalapeno pepper
8 cups water
1 1/2 – 2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Directions
- Rinse and sort beans. Place in pressure cooker.
- Dice onions and celery and add to pot. Add minced garlic, oil, whole jalapeno pepper, and water.
- Cook on high heat for 35 minutes, use the quick release method.
- Pour off most of the water, leaving the amount of juices you prefer.
- Stir in salt and pepper.
Notes
- These beans are perfect as a side dish, or served with Pulled Pork Burritos!
- If you soak the beans overnight, cook them on high temperature for 24 minutes.
