How to Make No Soak Pressure Cooker Rice And Beans

  1. Combine 1 cup of rice, 1 cup of beans (black beans recommended, but feel free to experiment!), and 3 cups of water in a small metal bowl that fits inside your pressure cooker. Cover the bowl tightly with aluminum foil, crimping the edges to create a secure seal.
  2. Place the covered bowl inside the pressure cooker on the trivet. Add 1 1/2 cups of water to the pressure cooker, outside the bowl.
  3. Securely close the pressure cooker lid and bring to high pressure.
  4. Once high pressure is reached, cook for 40 minutes.
  5. Carefully allow the pressure to release naturally, or use the quick-release method according to your pressure cooker's instructions. (Natural release is recommended to prevent splattering).
  6. Once the pressure is fully released, carefully remove the bowl from the pressure cooker. Stir the rice and beans thoroughly. Season generously to your liking with olive oil, Tabasco, soy sauce, sesame oil, recaito, or your favorite spices. Enjoy!
