Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 ham hock, about 1 pound
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 bay leaf
2 cups (about 1 pound) dried black beans, picked over and rinsed
6 cups water
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a 6-quart pressure cooker over medium-high heat, pour in 3 tablespoons oil. Add the ham hock and onions and cook until the onions are wilted and the ham hock is lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Throw in the garlic and bay leaf and cook for 1 minute more. Add the beans and give a good stir. Pour in the water; add the remaining tablespoon of oil, 1 tablespoon of salt, and a couple of grindings of pepper. Following the manufacturer's instructions, cover, lock the lid, and bring to high pressure. Lower heat to maintain pressure and start timing. Cook at high pressure for 25 minutes. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes. Release the steam, again following the manufacturer's directions. If the beans are underdone, simmer them with the lid off until tender. Remove bay leaf and discard. Pick meat from ham hock and add to beans; discard the bone. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  • Cook's note: The oil prevents the beans from foaming and clogging the steam vent of the pressure cooker.

I used canned black beans instead of dried beans and the recipe still turned out great. It was a quick and easy weeknight meal.

This recipe is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the beans and they don't even realize they're eating vegetables.

I'm allergic to onions, so I omitted them from the recipe. The beans were still very flavorful and delicious.

I'm not a vegetarian, but I love this recipe. The beans are so flavorful and satisfying. I often make a double batch and freeze half for later.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better.

I followed the recipe exactly and the beans were still undercooked. I had to cook them for an additional 10 minutes.

This recipe was easy to follow and the beans came out perfect. I used a mix of black beans and kidney beans and they both turned out great.
