Easy and simple Brazilian black beans recipe made in the pressure cooker, with no need for soaking. Delicious with rice or as a side to any Latin-inspired main. Serve hot.
Very tasty beans. The ham flavor really sets this apart from other recipes. I had already soaked my beans overnight, and, even though I doubled the recipe, I still used my pressure cooker for 15 minutes. The beans were cooked just right, not overcooked-meaning they were soft enough to eat, but intact and held up to the sautéing at the end. I drained the liquid before adding the oil and garlic, but reserved it for future recipes. I ended up freezing the leftovers as these would be good as a side on their own or even as an addition to other recipes. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Thanks Nina! I stopped by to see if my recipe was any different and after living in Brasil for a year I see it's pretty much the same. I like pinto beans personally, but this is exactly the way I make my beans. I don't b other soaking them, I just cook them for an hour in the panela de pressao and tudo esta maravilhosa! Nothing better than rice and beans as a side dish. Pennies in your pocket will keep you well fed.
