This is a generic recipe for cooking beans in a pressure cooker, which you can adapt to any cuisine, although I typically use it for Mexican-inspired beans, i.e. frijoles.

There are other ways of cooking this which are more elaborate, in which you cook the onions and garlic separately and add them after cooking the beans… but I don’t have time for that during the week; this is a fast and one pot recipe! The only thing you need to prepare ahead of time is soaking the beans the day before.
