Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 Tablespoons Better than Bullion Vegetable Base
  • 1 pound dry black beans
  • 5 1/2 cups water
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

  1. Rinse the dry beans off, and drain off the excess liquid.

  2. Add the beans to the pot, plus the 5 1/2 cups water, vegetable base and all spices.

  3. Cook on manual high pressure for 50 minutes, and let the pressure naturally (NPR). In other words, wait for the pin to drop without using the quick release lever. Mine took about 25 minutes, FYI.

  4. Taste to see if you want to add any more salt or pepper. The BTB vegetable base is plenty salty enough for us, but feel free to add more to taste. 

  5. Serve in burritos, tacos, over rice or as a side item.
