Rinse the beans

• Rinse the dried beans under cold water and pick out any stones or broken beans.

Add beans, onion, garlic and salt

• Put the beans in the Instant Pot.
• Add the halved onion and the garlic cloves.
• Add the salt.

Cover with water

• Fill the pot with water up to the max line, since the cooking liquid will be used later for refried beans.

Pressure cook

• Close the lid and set the valve to sealing.
• Cook on high pressure for 55 minutes.
• Let the pressure release before opening.

Serve

• Open the pot and serve the beans with their broth, keeping the broth for refried beans.
