PRESSURE COOKER BLACK BEANS image

Yield About 8 Cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 cups dried black beans
1 medium yellow onion
1 jalapeño
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tbsp powdered chicken bullion

Steps:

First, rinse black beans in cold water, then add them to pressure cooker along with 6 cups water. Bring to a rolling boil, then remove from heat and cover loosely with the lid for 1 hour. After soaking, add water until it is about an inch above the beans. Turn heat back to medium high. Add diced onion, salt, pepper, and diced jalapeño. Remove about half of the seeds and rib of the jalapeño for medium, all for mild, and none for hot. Add the chicken bullion and stir, the taste the broth to make sure the seasoning is close. Then add the veggie oil (to keep the beans from frothing and clogging the valve...don't leave it out!) Attach the lid and lock, wait for it to start rocking the valve, and back off the heat to medium low. Wait about 50 minutes, then remove from heat for ten minutes before releasing pressure and serving.
