Oh, well, while I'm begging for Inst Pot already, can Michael's Mexican Rice be adapted?

Diana Kennedy

Do the beans part in your Instant Pot. Whatever the time given for pintos. Make the “sauce” in a skillet before adding and changing over to simmer for a few minutes.

1/4 pound pork rind (I use salt pork)
1/2 pound pink or pinto beans
1/4 onion, sliced
2 small cloves garlic, sliced
6 cups water

Combine all and cook until done. Taste for salt fifteen minutes before and add a little if needed.

3 thick strips bacon, cut in small strips
2 tablespoons lard or bacon drippings
2 medium tomatoes, diced-I use a can if I can't find good ones
3 chile serranos, finely chopped ( I use jalapenos, but sometimes they don't have much bite)
2 large whole sprigs cilantro, chopped - I use a good half cup packed

Heat lard in skillet, render bacon in it until starting to brown, add remaining ingredients and cook over a fairly high flame 10 minutes or so, until well seasoned. Combine with beans and simmer uncovered on low flame about 15 minutes.
