Instant Pot

Ingredients

2 cups black eyed peas, rinsed
4 cups vegetable broth
2 cups water
½ tsp sea salt

Optional add-ins:

2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, diced
1 clove garlic, pressed or very finely minced

For serving (optional):

Instructions

Add the black-eyed peas, broth, water, salt, and your choice of add-ins to the Instant Pot insert. Stir to combine everything and prevent sticking.
Cover, turn the vent to sealing, and cook on manual High for 15 minutes.
Allow natural release for about 12 minutes, then release any remaining pressure.
Remove the lid carefully and season to taste. Serve with bread and lemon wedges. Sprinkle with creole seasoning and chopped parsley.
You can also use the broth as a base for soups or strain it off to use the perfectly cooked, tender peas in dry dishes.

Notes

You can start this recipe with the Instant Pot on saute mode. Saute onion in oil over medium heat for about 3 minutes, then switch to manual and add the black-eyed peas, broth, water, and salt.
Enjoy your Instant Pot black eyed peas with vegan cornbread, roasted sweet potatoes, or brown rice. These perfectly cooked black-eyed peas can also be used in salads, stews, soups, and dips!
Allow the pressure cooker black eyed peas to cool. Then, transfer the leftovers to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 5 days. To serve, reheat on the stovetop over medium heat, adding a bit of water as needed.
