Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
2 tbsp fresh cilantro, roughly chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Sort through the dried black beans and discard any shriveled beans or small stones. Rinse under cold running water in a fine-mesh strainer until the water runs clear.
2
Set the pressure cooker to the Sauté function (or heat over medium on a stovetop pressure cooker). Add the olive oil and heat until shimmering, about 1 minute. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 4–5 minutes.
