Instant Pot Saucy Beans & Eggs<\/p>\nInstant Pot Saucy Beans & Eggs<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
2 T. extra-virgin olive oil<\/p>\n
4 garlic cloves, smashed or thinly sliced<\/p>\n
\u00bd tsp. cumin seeds (optional)<\/p>\n
3 cups cooked pinto beans or white beans; or canned beans, rinsed and drained<\/p>\n
1\u00bc to 1\u00bd cups chicken or vegetable broth<\/p>\n
\u00bd tsp. fine sea salt<\/p>\n
Freshly ground black pepper<\/p>\n
4 large eggs<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Extra-virgin olive oil Chopped fresh mint<\/p>\n
Flaky sea salt, such as Maldon<\/p>\n
Freshly ground black pepper<\/p>\n
Garlicky Pistou, optional<\/p>\n
Perfect Toast , optional<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Place the olive oil, garlic, and cumin seeds in the inner pot of a pressure cooker and set to the Saut\u00e9 function. Cook about 1 minute, or until fragrant. Add the beans, broth, salt, and some pepper and continue on the Saut\u00e9 setting to soften the beans until the mixture is saucy, stirring the beans occasionally to release their starches and thicken the sauce, about 4 minutes. Crack the eggs into the beans and cook on the Saut\u00e9 setting until the whites are just starting to set, 1 to 2 minutes. Cover the pot (don’t lock), turn off the heat, and let the eggs continue to cook until the whites are fully set and the yolks are soft and creamy, 3 to 4 minutes more, depending on how firm you like your yolks.\u00a0 Open the lid and spoon the beans and eggs into shallow bowls or serve over toast, drizzled with some olive oil and sprinkled with the mint, salt and pepper.\u00a0 Serve with a dollop of pistou, if desired.<\/p>\n

Garlicky Pistou<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The foundation of a perfect pistou is fresh basil, garlic, olive oil, salt, and grating cheese (often parmesan), the last added for body and a perfect salty-umami finish. Use whatever fine grating cheese you have on hand: parmesan, pecorino, or aged Manchego all work, as does a nutty, semi-firm cheese like Gruyere. You can make the pistou loose and shaggy, like a gremolata, but for most soups I love it blended to a creamy green paste in a food processor. Try also stirring the pistou into creamy soups,<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
1 large bunch basil (about 2 packed cups)<\/p>\n
\u00bc cup grated parmesan cheese (2 ounces)<\/p>\n
3 garlic cloves<\/p>\n
4 T. extra-virgin olive oil<\/p>\n
\u00c2\u00bd tsp. fine sea salt<\/p>\n
1 to 3 tsp. hot water<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Combine the basil, cheese, garlic, olive oil, and salt in a small food processor or a blender and pulse to roughly chop. Add the hot water, 1 tsp. at a time, to get the blade moving, and blend to make a smooth paste. You want it a touch runnier than a pesto but thick enough to easily dollop with a spoon. Refrigerate the pistou for up to 5 days in an airtight container, covered with a thin layer of olive oil to maintain the green color.<\/p>\n

Perfect Toast<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There’s something otherworldly about a slice of sourdough bread that’s been skillet-toasted in butter and olive oil (yes, both, the butter sizzles and seeps into the bread, while the oil, which can handle higher heat, helps the edges brown).\u00a0 For every 2 to 3 pieces of toast, heat 1 T. each butter and extra-virgin olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet set over medium-high heat (have extra butter and oil handy for toasting the other side – how much you need depends on the bread and how buttery you like your toast). Add thick slices of sourdough, whole wheat, or baguette, and cook until toasted and golden, and the bread is starting to soak up the fat, about 3 minutes.\u00a0 Flip, adding another T. each butter and oil, and cook until edges are golden but interior is still soft, 2 minutes more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
