Instant Pot Peruvian Beans Recipes

INSTANT POT PERUVIAN BEANS RECIPE

Steps:

• Rinse beans in a colander and check for any debris or broken beans.
• Place rinsed beans in the Instant Pot with water and oil. Lock lid on, have Valve on sealing, and Cook on High Pressure for 30 minutes (if beans are old do 35-40 min). Once timer goes off, allow pressure to release naturally for an additional 20 minutes. Just leave the instant pot alone and allow it to stay on keep warm for 20 minutes. Then open lid, add salt, stir, taste, and add more salt if needed. At this point you can add additional seasoning if you like.
• If beans are still hard, place lid back on, turn valve to sealing, and cook on high for 5 more minutes. Then rest for 10 minutes before releasing pressure valve.

PERUVIAN MASHED BEANS

Steps:

• Rinse beans in cold water. Place in a bowl with water to cover; soak for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
• Transfer soaked beans to a large pot; fill with 3 quarts water. Add onion and garlic. Cover and cook over low heat until boiling, about 30 minutes. Add bouillon and season with salt. Cook, adding more water as needed, until beans are tender, 30 to 40 minutes more.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add a few scoops of cooked beans, 1 clove of cooked garlic, and about 1/2 of the water from the pot. Bring to a simmer and mash. Season with salt and pepper.

INSTANT POT CHIPOTLE PERUVIAN BEANS (+ STOVETOP!)

Steps:

• Instant Pot Instructions
• To your Instant Pot add soaked beans, water, bay leaves, chipotle and garlic powder. Give a good stir.
• Place the lid on and close the vent. Set on manual high pressure for 22 minutes.
• When the time is up, carefully quick release the pressure.
• Press the saute function button.
• Stir in the tapioca/water mixture.
• Continuously stir until desired consistency is reached (keep in mind it will thicken as it cools, too).
• Stir in apple cider vinegar or lime and optional sweetener.
• Remove bay leaves and salt to taste.
• Serve and enjoy!
• Stovetop Instructions
• Add beans + 6 cups water to a large pot (you want to ensure beans are fully covered by water).
• Bring to a boil, then reduce to a high simmer.
• Cook until tender, adding more water if necessary. I find it takes about 1 hour of simmering to reach a soft, tender consistency.
• If most of the water is evaporated by the time the beans have cooked, add around 1 cup more before proceeding to the next step.
• While still set to simmer, stir in the spices, followed by the tapioca/water mixture. Stir thoroughly, turn heat a smidge higher (medium to medium-high), and continue to stir until all starts to thicken and looks creamy.
• Stir in vinegar or lime and optional sweetener.
• Turn off heat and salt to taste.
• Serve and enjoy!
