  • 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 bay leaves
  • ¼ cup minced fresh cilantro

Method

  1. Heat oil in pressure-cooker pot over medium-high heat until shimmering
  2. Add chorizo and cook until browned, about 5 minutes; transfer to paper towel-lined plate
  3. Add onions, bell pepper, cumin, and ¼ teaspoon salt to fat left in pot and cook over medium-high heat until vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes
  4. Stir in garlic, 1 tablespoon oregano, and pepper flakes and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds
  5. Stir in beans
  6. Stir in broth and bay leaves, scraping up any browned bits

HIGH PRESSURE FOR 25 minutes:

  1. Lock pressure-cooker lid in place and bring to high pressure over medium-high heat
  2. As soon as pot reaches high pressure, reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 25 minutes, adjusting heat as needed to maintain pressure

NATURALLY RELEASE PRESSURE:

  1. Remove pot from heat and allow pressure to release naturally for 15 minutes
  2. Quick release any remaining pressure, then carefully remove lid, allowing steam to escape away from you
  3. Before Serving:
  4. Discard bay leaves
  5. Continue to simmer beans over medium heat, stirring often, until beans are tender and cooking liquid is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes
  6. Off heat, stir in chorizo, remaining 1 tablespoon oregano, and cilantro
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve
