Рецепт Pressure Cooker Pinto Beans – Refried Beans
Pressure Cooker Pinto Beans – Refried Beans

Do you love refried beans? You can make pressure cooker pinto beans, and they will taste like the best refried beans you have ever had.
There is something about a hearty side dish of pinto beans. I like to mash mine up like pinto beans. You could leave them whole and enjoy a bowl of beans, this is entirely up to you.
My recipe contains bacon grease if you want to make a vegetarian style of bean you would use vegetable oil. I like to use a little bit of bacon grease; I like the smokey flavor that it adds. I am also using a yellow onion, cilantro stems, chipotle powder, cumin, and dry pinto beans. When I slice the cilantro I save the leaves for another dish since the pinto beans are getting pressure cooked, I want something that will carry the flavor and not disintegrate during the cooking process.
Since these beans are being pressure cooked, I am not going to soak them overnight, or even for a few hours. I find if I add about five more minutes to the cooking time they beans will come out tender. Dad Cooks Dinner advises you can soak the beans overnight in a brine, you may want to give this a try.
To start this recipe, I am going to saute my onions, cilantro stems, and bacon grease in the pressure cooker. I will then add my spices, beans, and water. They will then pressure cook, and I will allow the pot to release naturally, so this adds 20 minutes to my cooking time. You will still have flavorful beans in no time. I do not salt the beans until after they have cooked. Some people think that the beans may become tough if you add salt prior to the cooking process. I personally just like to wait because the bacon grease can be a bit salty, and I want to see how much salt to add.
My pressure cooker of choice in my Instant Pot. I think hands down this is the best pressure cooker around. It acts like a slow cooker, a yogurt maker, it can saute, it makes rice, it makes some of the best oatmeal around. To say I am passionate about this is an understatement.
