Instant Pot Refried Beans

Optionally soak beans for 8-12 hours before cooking. Drain the water and rinse the beans off.

Add beans, water, 1 garlic clove, and salt to Instant Pot. Cook on high pressure for 50 minutes (or 15 if pre-soaked) with a 15 minute natural release.

Heat oil in a large dutch oven. Add garlic cloves and onion and fry just to get some color on them.

Add beans and some bean water, along with fried garlic and onions, to a blender and blend until smooth.

Add mixture back into dutch oven and stir into the oil. Cook for a couple minutes, stirring constantly, until it reaches the desired consistency. Season with salt + pepper to taste.
