Soak the beans overnight

• Pick over the dried black beans and rinse them well.
• Cover the beans with plenty of water in a large bowl and leave to soak overnight.

Drain and rinse

• Drain the soaked beans in a colander and rinse with fresh water.

Build the flavor base

• Sauté the diced bacon in a little olive oil until the fat renders.
• Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened and fragrant.

Pressure cook the beans

• Add the drained beans to the pressure cooker with the bacon mixture.
• Cover with fresh water, about 2 cm above the beans.
• Seal and cook under pressure until the beans are tender and creamy.

Season and store

• Release the pressure, then season the beans with salt and black pepper.
• Serve some right away and portion the rest into containers for the fridge or freezer.
