Spicy black beans and hearty greens made in a pressure cooker are radiating with warm, intoxicating flavor. They are a cross between soup and\u00a0chili, perfectly spiced with smoky chipotle chiles, mild tomato\u00a0salsa, and green chiles, and rounded out with an ample helping of leafy greens. This recipe for Instant Pot spicy black beans is not only delicious; it’s good for you.<\/em><\/p>\n

Hi there. I\u2019m Letty from Letty\u2019s Kitchen<\/a>, the blog about seasonal vegetarian cooking and desserts with a healthier twist. I\u2019m delighted to share this pressure cooker recipe with you.<\/p>\n

The way I see it, pressure cooking is the only way to cook beans. Even when you don\u2019t soak the beans before hand, you still save time. Soaked overnight before cooking, black beans cook in 13 minutes. Tack on saut\u00e9ing onions and spices in the beginning, and adding greens at the end, in a realistic 40 minutes, you\u2019ve got supper.<\/p>\n

The vitamin-rich dark leafy greens\u00a0can be arugula, beet greens, mustard greens, or a mess \u2018o greens mix, like the ready-to-cook Southern greens you can sometimes find at Trader Joes. Five minutes after you stir the dark and leafies into the pot, what at first seems like too many greens melts, practically disappears, into the hot beans.<\/p>\n

If you like, round out your pressure cooker \u00a0spicy black beans and greens with salty cotija or feta cheese, or sour cream. In this recipe I offer a vegan garnish of jicama matchsticks, creamy avocado, and diced green chiles.<\/p>\n

A lot of the flavor depth and smoky balance in these beans comes from the chipotle chiles in adobo sauce. Chipotles in adobo are smoked and dried jalape\u00f1os in a sweet and tangy puree of tomato, vinegar and spices. They\u2019re spicy hot, and a little goes a long way. Barbara uses them in her recipe for\u00a0Pressure Cooker Chicken Tinga Enchiladas.<\/p>\n

But have you ever bought a can of chipotles, used one or two, and then wondered what to do with the rest? Not any more. From now on, blend the spicy chiles right out of the can, with just enough oil to smoothen them out. Use what you need, and pop what\u2019s left in the freezer. (see instructions)<\/p>\n

Your extra adobe red chipotle oil can jazz up vinaigrette, mayonnaise, pizza, and, of course, spicy black beans and hearty greens!<\/p>\n
