Made this last night. It's a winner. Easy way to net refried beans without

frying or cholesterol...but tastes so good.

Refried Beans (one pot) - Pressure Cooker

 

Recipe By :Pressure Cooking the Easy Way by Maureen B. Keane & Daniella

Chace

Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Beans

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 cups quick-soaked* pinto beans -- drained

2 whole garlic cloves -- peeled

1 large onion -- quartered

4 cups water

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

olive oil (optional)

 

Add beans, garlic, onion, and water to cooker, bring to high pressure, and cook

for 15 minutes. Drain well and mash with potato masher. Add chili powder, cumin,

and olive oil if desired and mix well. Serve with sauteed onions or salsa.

Adding a little more olive oil to the beans after cooking will give beans a

creamier texture.

 

Serves 4

 

Quick-Soak - Wash beans and pick through. Place in pressure cooker with 3 cups

of water for every cup of beans, add 2 teaspoons of salt, bring beans and liquid

to high pressure, and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let pressure fall

on its own. Drain well and proceed with recipe.

 

Brenda's note: This is a keeper! We were impressed with how nice the beans

cooked, soft and perfect; easily mashed right in the pressure cooker when they'd

finished cooking.

NOTES : Pinto beans are traditionally used for refried beans but black beans are

delicious also. Spice up or down as much as you like.
