My family LOVE black beans, as much as I do, so I make them frequently. They’re super popular in Venezuela. I guess because they are very cheap, they are available all year long, and like most beans are a good source of protein and nutrients. Plus, black beans are extremely versatile. You can use them to make soups, side dishes, burger patties, or add them to salads, tacos, burritos, quesadillas, arepas, the possibilities are seemingly endless.

What is the difference between Mexican chorizo and Spanish chorizo?
Mexican chorizo is usually sold uncooked (raw), either in a casing or loose. It can be found with other raw meats or sausages at the grocery store. Spanish chorizo is a ready-to-eat dried and cured sausage in a casing. They come in different versions: smoked or unsmoked and may be sweet or spicy.

Instant Pot Black Beans with Chorizo
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons oil (vegetable, canola, or avocado)
- 1 yellow onion about 1 cup, quartered
- 6 garlic cloves, peeled
- 7 oz. cured Spanish chorizo, sliced (see notes)
- 1 cup bell pepper, diced (I used green and red)
- 16 oz. black beans, soaked and rinsed (see notes)
- 4 cups chicken stock
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro leaves, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Place the oil, onion, and garlic in a blender, or a small food processor, and blend until smooth. Set aside.
- Select "Sauté" on the Instant Pot and adjust to more. Add sliced chorizo and cook for 2-3 minutes until it is slightly crispy and has released its fat. Add chopped bell peppers and sauté with the chorizo for 2 more minutes. Using a slotted spoon remove chorizo and peppers from the pot, leaving most of the fat released from the chorizo in the pot.
- Add onion mixture to the pot and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add soaked beans and stock. Mix to combine. Secure lid and close pressure-release valve.
- Select "Beans" adjust to 20 minutes. When the time is over, carefully release the pressure turning the valve to "Venting". Then, carefully remove the lid.
- Select "Sauté" on the Instant Pot and adjust to normal. Add the chorizo and bell pepper to the pot; mix to combine. Let it simmer for 5 minutes. Taste and add salt and pepper, if necessary. Simmer for 2 more minutes. Press "cancel".
- Garnish with cilantro and Serve.
To Soak the Beans:
- Rinse the black beans under running water. Take out dirty, pebbles and broken beans.
- In a large bowl add the beans and 8 cups of water and let them soak for 4 hours or overnight. Beans will swell to at least twice their dry size.
- Discard the soaking water and rinse the beans again.
