Smoky Peruvian Peruano Beans Recipes

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!
