Print Recipe
 This flavor packed dish is  my homage to a soupy bean that feels like home.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups soaked pinto beans*
  • 5.5 cups water
  • 6 tsp Better than Bouillon
  • ½ cup fire roasted tomatoes
  • ½ tsp mustard
  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • ½ tbsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp coconut sugar
  • ½ tbsp cumin
  • ½ tsp dried herb mix
  • a few pinches of salt
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 jalapeno, chopped
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  • Grab that pressure cooker and lets start
  • Add water (warmed) and better than bouillon to a large bowl - stir to combine to make vegetable broth
  • Into your pressure cooker pot add soaked beans, vegetable broth, all spices and remaining ingredients
  • Stir to combine
  • Place the pressure cooker top on and set to high pressure for 15-20 minutes
  • Allow the beans to release steam naturally, do not try and quick- release steam
  • Garnish with fresh lime juice and cilantro

Notes

For this recipe, I soaked my pinto beans overnight. Soaking beans helps remove indigestible complex sugars. To overnight soak beans simply:
Add beans to a bowl, top with enough cold water to cover by 2 inches, cover with a lid and place in fridge overnight. Drain and rinse them in the morning before cooking with them. 
For this recipe, i added in a bit of fire roasted tomatoes. Feel free to crush a few fresh tomatoes and throw them in (½ cups worth). Alternatively you can substitute 1 tbsp tomato paste
