6 servings
- 1 lb dried black beans
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp dried oregano
Ingredient noteOregano is fine during pregnancy in normal cooking amounts - this recipe uses about 1/8 tsp per serving. The caution is about concentrated oregano oil and large medicinal doses.

- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 cups water
- 1 tsp salt, plus more to taste
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, roughly chopped (optional)

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.

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.
