Cuban Black Beans

Black beans are a great dish to serve with rice along with any of the grilled meats or stew meats.

You can use this recipe as a base for a black bean soup by adding seasoned beef broth to the beans to achieve the desired soup consistency you prefer.

They are easy to make and store well. They are also very nutritious and filling.

I always pressure-cook my beans. I never cook them on the stovetop. I pressure cook them to destroy the lectins, which can cause all kinds of problems. I use the Ninja Foodi as my pressure cooker and it does an amazing job. It is a multi-tool that you will always use.

When you pressure cook the beans, you don’t have to soak them overnight or at all. Simply put all the ingredients in the pressure cooker, and one hour later, they are ready to eat.
