This is my favorite recipe for how to cook black beans. Homemade black beans are super flavorful and creamy and taste much better than canned. In addition to our stovetop method, I include tips for Instant Pot black beans below.
Ingredient:
- 1 pound (450g) dried black beans, rinsed, about 2 cups
- 3 cloves garlic, peeled and gently smashed
- 1/2 medium onion, sliced through the root end so that the onion doesn’t fall apart
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 lime
- Salt and fresh ground black pepper
