  • 1.50 tbsp, Olive Oil
  • 1 cup Dry Black Beans soaked overnight

  5. Drain and rinse your beans and add those as well.
  6. Add your vegetable stock and your frozen corn, stir.

  8. When the time is up, let the pressure natural release for 15 minutes, then open and adjust seasonings as needed.

Stove top alternative: You can convert this recipe for stove top by simply following the recipe as written and simmering cooking covered for 1-3 hours, or until beans are tender. You may need to add water as needed if the liquid gets low. Stir occasionally.
