Spicy Pressure Cooker Pinto Beans image

Adjust the amount of jalapeno to suit your taste, or use a mild or hot salsa instead of medium; I would not like these any spicier than they already are. I make these in a pressure skillet, a shallow version of a pressure cooker. The beans are soupy, but you can cook them a little longer in the open pan to reduce the liquid if you prefer thicker "juice". I use Herdez salsa casera for this.

Time 32m

Yield 3 1/2 cups, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup dried pinto bean, rinsed and picked over
1 smoked ham hock
2 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped
1 cup chunky salsa, medium heat
3 cups filtered water
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Steps:

  • Throw it all in the pressure cooker and cook 27 minutes.
  • Let it cool down on its own before opening, the salt and acid in the salsa make the beans a little firm and the carryover cooking is beneficial.
  • Boil, uncovered, for a few minutes to reduce the sauce.
