Instant Pot Black Eyed Peas Recipe
Description
The recipe calls for sorting black-eyed peas to remove any debris before combining them with water or chicken or vegetable broth and optional salt in an electric pressure cooker. Set to high pressure for 13-14 minutes cooks the peas to the desired tenderness. After a natural pressure release, the peas are ready to serve or utilize in additional recipes.
Cooking black-eyed peas under pressure reduces the time drastically versus stovetop simmering often required for dried beans. The fluid used can add flavor depending on choice of broth or water. Salt may be added before or after cooking depending on personal preference.
The peas can be served as a side dish with seasoning of salt and pepper, or integrated into other meals such as salads or stews. The pressure cooker method promotes easy batch preparation.
Options for storage include refrigeration for several days or freezing for longer keeping. Gentle reheating with added moisture helps maintain texture upon warming.
Ingredients
- 1 cup black-eyed peas dried
- 1 ½ cups water chicken or vegetable broth
- ½ teaspoon salt optional
Instructions
- Sort through black eyed peas to ensure there are no clumps or dirt or stones remaining.
- Add black eyed peas, water, or broth, and salt to a 4 or 6-quart pressure cooker.
- Set the pressure to high and cook for 13-14 minutes, depending on your desired tenderness. Wait for a 10 minute natural pressure release.
- Move the pressure release valve to the venting position to release all of the steam. Open the lid once the float valve goes down.
- Serve immediately with additional salt and black pepper or use in your favorite recipes. Enjoy!
Notes
- Sort the dried black-eyed peas carefully before cooking to remove stones and debris for best results.
- Store cooked peas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days or freeze for up to 3 months for longer preservation.
- Reheat cooked peas with a little water on the stovetop or microwave to maintain moisture and texture.
