Ingredients
- 1 cup dried black beans rinsed and picked over
- 1 medium red pepper seeded and cut into large pieces
- ½ medium white onion cut into large pieces
- ½ Tbsp dried oregano
- ½ Tbsp dried cumin
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Sea salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 whole bay leaves
- 1½ cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
- 2 Tbsp red pepper diced
- 3 Tbsp avocado diced
- 2 Tbsp fresh cilantro leaves chopped
- 1 whole lime cut into wedges (optional)
- 3 cup cooked white or yellow rice
Instructions
- Add the beans, red pepper, onion, oregano, dried cumin, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and bay leaves to Instant Pot®.
- Pour broth on top and add the lid. Set the pressure valve to “sealing” and select the “Manual” cooking option on the “High” setting. Set cook time to 32 minutes.
- When done cooking, allow the pressure to release naturally for 20 minutes, and then do a quick release of any remaining pressure.
- Turn the unit off and carefully remove lid. Transfer red pepper, onion, and ½ cup broth to a blender or food processor. Cover and blend until smooth.
- Pour pureed vegetable mixture back into the Instant Pot® and add red wine vinegar. Season with additional salt and black pepper, as desired, and stir to combine. Serve immediately over a bed of cooked rice, topped with chopped red pepper, avocado, and cilantro. Offer lime wedges, if desired. Enjoy!
