• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 jalapeno pepper, chopped

• 3 garlic cloves
• cilantro (for garnish)

directions

1. soak beans overnight or till adequately moist.
2. drain soaking water
3. add all ingredients except cilantro to pressure cooker.
4. wait for 3 whistles.(bring to pressure & cook 10 minute under pressure).
5. garnish with cilantro.
6. note: the tomato normally shouldn't be added before cooking beans, but in this recipe, this is ok b/c we use 3 whistles instead of two and the beans take a better firmer form necessary to make this a "gourmet" looking soup.
