  • 1 lbs. Organic Red Beans

Spices

  • 1 Bay Leave
  • 1 tsp Chipotle Powder
  • 1.5 tsp Cumin
  • 4.5 tsp Diamond Kosher Salt
  • 2 tsp Dry Oregano

Diced

  • 3 Cloves Garlic
  • 1/3 Onion
  • 1/4 Green Pepper

Liquid

  • 6.5 Cups of Water - 1.53 Liters

Instructions

  • Clean beans to remove any possible debris.

Cooking Method

  • Cook at high pressure for 30 minutes. Allow 10 minutes to pass and then release pressure.

Recommended Cooking Method

  • In a large bowl, add the cleaned and rinsed beans
  • Fill bowl with water until beans are covered with at least 1.5 inches (3.81 cm) of water
  • Let them soak over night (I find this helps make them easier to digest)
  • Cook in instant pot at high pressure for 12 minutes
  • Allow the pressure to release on its own if you have the patience
