This Spanish inspired dish uses oregano, dried cumin, and bay leaves. It makes a great side dish or simple dinner.

Ingredients

1 c. 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 T. dried oregano

½ T. dried cumin

1 t. garlic powder

Sea salt and black pepper, to taste

2 whole bay leaves

1½ c. vegetable broth

1 T. red wine vinegar

2 T. red pepper, diced

3 T. avocado, diced

2 T. fresh cilantro leaves, chopped

1 whole lime, cut into wedges (optional)

3 c. cooked white or yellow rice

Instructions

1

Add the beans, red pepper, onion, oregano, dried cumin, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and bay leaves to Instant Pot®.

2

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.

3

When done cooking, allow the pressure to release naturally for 20 minutes, and then do a quick release of any remaining pressure.

4

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.

5

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!
