This recipe for Black-Eyed Peas in the Instant Pot will have you gobbling up the South’s favorite legume. Bake a skillet of cornbread and serve them both with other veggies or meat for a perfectly Southern meal.
Select SAUTE on the Instant Pot. Drizzle a couple of tablespoons of oil into the pot. Add the diced onion and saute for a few minutes until the onions begin to soften.
Turn the Instant Pot off. Add the dried peas, water, ham, and salt. Put the Instant Pot lid on and turn the knob on top to close. Select Pressure Cook (or Manual) and set the time for 16 minutes.
Once the peas have finished pressure cooking, allow the pressure to release naturally for 8 – 10 minutes. At that point, you can manually release the pressure by turning the valve to Vent.
