Instructions
  1. Press Sauté to pre-heat the cooker. When the word "hot" appears on the display, add the oil and sauté the onions and garlic about 5 minutes, until the onions are translucent.
  2. Add the rice and continue to stir to coat the grains. Stir in the first 3 1/2 cups of vegetable broth.
  3. Lock the lid in place. Press Manual and adjust to 4 minutes cooking time.
  4. When the beep sounds, quick release the pressure by pressing Cancel, and twisting the steam handle to Venting position.
  5. Press sauté and stir in the pinto beans, green chilies, chard ribbons, and remaining 1/2 cup of vegetable broth.
  6. Cook, stirring constantly until the chard has wilted and the beans are heated through, about 4 minutes. The risotto should be creamy yet still al dente, with a bite to your tongue.
  7. Stir in the cheese, if using. Taste and add salt if you think it’s needed, and pinch more red pepper flakes, if you like more spice.

    Everything was going well until I found out it was a recipe for beans from a can! But it was too late! It will be nice to add it’s for soaked beans. By the way what is the point to buy a pressure cooker if you cook beans from a can, just to say.
