Simple black beans from Milk Street Fast and Slow: Instant Pot Cooking at the Speed You Need (page 71) by Christopher Kimball

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I used the fast method in the instant pot. I'm trying to use up my pantry and my beans may have been a little older as they were still firm after the 35 min cook and 20 min natural release. On a wild guess I put them back for another 10 min cook time and 20 min natural release. They were perfectly tender and still held their shape. I used the entire recipe for the black bean soup. Which we enjoyed!

    This has become my go-to black beans instant pot recipe. Also works well without the cherry tomatoes if you don’t have those on hand.
