Description
Instant Pot Spanish Farm Beans (Alubia Blanca De La Granja). A pressure cooked pot of pork and beans, Spanish style, with white Alubia Blanca beans, chorizo, and a big hit of Smoked Spanish paprika.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 6- to 8-ounces Spanish dried chorizo, cut into ¼-inch thick rounds
- 1 large onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Spanish smoked paprika (Pimenton de la Vera)
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 pound dried Alubia Blanca beans, sorted and rinsed
- 5 cups water
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
Instructions
- Brown the chorizo: Heat the oil in the pot over Sauté mode (medium heat in a stovetop pressure cooker) until the oil starts shimmering. Add the chorizo and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and crispy one one side, about 5 minutes. Move the chorizo to a bowl with a slotted spoon, leaving as much oil and fat behind as possible.
- Sauté the aromatics: Add the onion and garlic to the pot, and sprinkle with the smoked Spanish paprika and ½ teaspoon salt. Sauté until the onions soften, about 5 minutes, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pot with a flat edged wooden spoon to loosen any stuck bits of chorizo or onion. Add the chorizo and any juices in the bowl into the pot. Add the beans, pour in the water, and stir in the teaspoon of salt.
- Pressure cook for 25 minutes with a Quick Pressure Release: Pressure cook at high pressure for 25 minutes in both electric or stovetop pressure cookers (“manual” or “pressure cook” mode in an Instant Pot). Quick release any remaining pressure. (We’re quick releasing to rough up the beans and release some extra starch to thicken the cooking liquid.) Remove the lid carefully, opening away from you – even when it’s not under pressure, the steam in the cooker is very hot.
- Serve: Ladle into bowls, serve, and enjoy!
