DIRECTIONS
I have an 8 qt pot. CHECK YOUR PRESSURE COOKER DIRECTIONS FOR MAXIMUM FILL. You may have reduce the amounts of ingredients to safely cook on high pressure.
Set your InstaPot or other pressure cooker to saute. Place diced onion in the pot once hot enough to make water dance.
Keep stirring to prevent burning, once translucent, add celery and mushrooms. Continuing to saute. Use a a bit of your veggie broth to prevent sticking if necessary. Add garlic (overcooking makes it bitter)
Add the tomatoes, black beans, veggie broth, no salt seasoning and bay leaf.
(If you are adding fresh herbs, add after the process. They lose too much flavor if overcooked.)
Stir well.
Reset pressure cooker to MANUAL, set time for 10 minutes.
Seal, (not vent) and it will do the rest.
Allow to cool down, or if you don't have time, carefully open vent and remove top once steam jet stops.
