Instant Pot Cuban Black Beans
Beans have always been one of my simple go-to real food meal staples! Easy on the budget and cooked from dry in a relatively short amount of time with the help of a handy dandy pressure cooker, this recipe for Instant Pot Cuban Black Beans is full of flavor and real food goodness that will make real food realistic on so many levels.
I remember the first time a coworker of mine gave me a batch of her *amazing* homemade Cuban black beans. It was the dead of summer and I was VERY pregnant with Alice....and definitely not all that interested in spending a lot of time on my feet in the kitchen. I had mentioned to her the day before that I might just live off of PB & J sandwiches until Alice made her arrival, since cooking was not on my agenda, and she came in with a giant container of her Cuban black beans the next day.
