Instructions
Remove the inner container from the Bestek Pressure Cooker and place it on a flat surface
Start by adding the dry ingredients into the pressure cooker
Add only about 3 Tbsp of the Cuban Seasoning. Keep the rest for a future recipe
Add the fire roasted tomatoes and water
Place the container back into the pressure cooker base
To cover the lid, make sure the exhaust valve is facing away from the control panel
Gently place the lid on top and make sure the left knob is right next to the "open" marker
Slowly twist the lid to the "lock" marker. There is a small, silver pin that will protrude outwards as it locks in place
Gently try to lift the lid to confirm that it's closed
Place the exhaust valve to the "sealed" marker
Click on the "bean" mode and let it cook on its own
After 30 minutes of cooking, it will be ready to eat
Open the lid slowly and make sure you are not close to it. Steam will come gushing out of the cooker.
Add the olives and raisins, mix and serve.
To make the Cuban Seasoning
Mix all the ingredients for the
Cuban seasoning
and set aside
Optional: grind the mixture in a coffee grinder, if you prefer powder form
