Heat the electric pressure cooker using the “saute” function until “hot.”
Add the olive oil, bell pepper, and onion to the liner of the electric pressure cooker. Saute about 2 to 3 minutes or until the vegetables begin to soften. Stir in the garlic.
Add the remaining ingredients to the electric pressure cooker and stir.
Cover and set the valve to sealing. Program the electric pressure cooker using the “manual” or “pressure cook” setting on high pressure for 25 minutes. Allow the pressure cooker to naturally release the pressure for 10 minutes before releasing any remaining pressure.
If desired, remove one cup of black beans and mash with a fork before returning the mashed beans to the electric pressure cooker.
Notes
USING SOAKED BEANSIf using pre-soaked black beans, reduce cooking time to 10 minutes and then do a 15-minute natural pressure release before releasing the remaining pressure.
