  • When done, allow pressure to release naturally for at least 30 minutes. Open, and the beans may need just a bit more, but they’ll cook with the rest of the ingredients.
  • Add the tomato powder or paste, brown sugar, and mustard. Turn on heat again to low (sauté low) and cook and stir occasionally. Add additional mustard, salt, and pepper as needed. Reduce sauce and cook further until at the desired result.
