I just made this today. OMG! It's the bomb!!! This recipe is going to be a staple for sure. Thanks!

[@MrNeuroticRA]

This is a great idea. I made 1lbs dry Cuban style black beans in the instant pot with plenty of left overs and my sofrito rice is running out. I can just make this dish next! Excellent pace to the video. More please! 😀😀😀😀

[@adamszajman3870]

wow, thank you.

[@maryherje7120]

What kind of oil do you use for your recipes?

[@metalrabbit09]

This recipe looks good. Is there a substitute which you would recommend for the green and jalapeno peppers? Not everyone can digest peppers well. Thank you.

Hmm....Instant Pot, something to look into and get, while we do other chores around the house, the Instant Pot is cooking our meal! You're AWESOME Urvashi Ji! :D

[@Twosleevers]

Joe Serrano you don’t have one yet? Oh man you’re missing out!

[@qualqui]

@@Twosleevers lol...but Urvashi Ji to the rescue! p.s. I noticed you provide an amazon link to buy it there, will be checking that out. :)

[@tanmay_6363]

@@Twosleevers did you soak the beans?

[@Violet3017]

That looks DELICIOUS!😃Edit:wow THANKS FOR REPLYING! :)

[@Twosleevers]

Violet3017 yay! Thank you! It is a new favorite at my house

[@sunflowerbaby1853]

Was that canned or dry black beans?

[@tasha770ify]

Go to the link with the recipe. Everything is explained there. She used dried beans but mentions if you use the canned beans, you have to use white rice and reduce the cooking time and water.

[@tasha770ify]

I don't have an instant pot but I want to try this recipe. It looks so tasty.

[@MyDogSteppedOnaBeee]

every time I make rice it seems to come out all sticky even Basmati in my instant pot. What am I doing wrong? I do equal water with rice and cook on manual pressure high for 6-8 mins and let the pressure decrease naturally. If anyone knows or has tips? I'd appreciate it.
