Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 40 minutes
Instant Pot heat up and release: 30 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
Servings: 4 cups

Ingredients

  • 2 cups dried black beans
  • 1 medium white onion
  • 3 cloves garlic peeled and sliced in half
  • 4 cups vegetable broth use no sodium added if baby will be eating some
  • ½ tsp salt *optional
  • 1 small can tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp cumin
  • 1 tbsp chili powder *you dial back to 2 tsp if you’d like
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ tsp cayenne *optional
  • Juice from 1 lime

Instructions

  • Rinse black beans, and then add into the insert of the Instant pot along with the broth, onion, salt and garlic.
  • Set to manual function for 40 minutes. Ensure you’ve turned the knob to sealing.
  • Allow this to come to pressure and cook. Once this is done, allow for a natural release for 20 minutes.
  • You may see some liquid, please strain this into a small bowl - you don’t have to remove all of it. You’ll want to set it aside in case you need it later to achieve your desired consistency.
  • Next, add in the remaining ingredients and stir.
  • Use an immersion blender or potato masher to form the consistency you’d like. Again, you’re welcome to add back more of the reserve liquid.

Notes

*Skip these ingredients if your baby will be eating some. You can set some of the finished dip aside for your baby and then stir salt into the remainder.
For a creamy texture feel free to add a dollop of sour cream or silk tofu at the end.
