Cook Time
This dish can be cooked in the Instant Pot in about 20 minutes. It is important to make sure that all of the ingredients are added to the pot in the correct order and that the lid is securely in place before turning the pot on. Once the pot is on, the cooking time will be about 20 minutes.
Ingredients
- 2 cups brown rice
- 2 cups black beans
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 cups vegetable broth
Instructions
1. Start by adding the olive oil to the Instant Pot and pressing the “sauté” button. Once the oil is hot, add in the onion, bell pepper, and garlic and sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
2. Add in the spices and stir to combine. Then add in the brown rice, black beans, and vegetable broth and stir until everything is combined.
3. Place the lid on the Instant Pot and make sure that the valve is set to the “sealing” position. Press the “manual” button and set the time to 20 minutes.
4. Once the timer is up, allow the pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes and then carefully move the valve to the “venting” position to release any remaining pressure.
5. Carefully remove the lid and give the dish a good stir. Serve hot with a dollop of vegan sour cream or your favourite toppings. Enjoy!
