Instructions
- Sift through the black eyed peas, removing any bad beans or errant stones. Place the beans in a large bowl and cover with water so that the beans are submerged by about two inches. Let the beans reconstitute overnight.
- Rinse and drain the black eyed peas and set aside.
- Turn the Instant Pot to sauté mode and let it heat for a minute or two. Add the chopped bacon and cook for 3-4 minutes or until it renders its fat and starts to crisp.
- Add the chopped onions, celery, carrots, garlic, and jalapeños. Saute for 3-4 minutes or until tender and translucent.
- Stir in the cumin and bay leaf and toss with the vegetables to coat them with the cumin, cooking for about a minute until fragrant.
- Add the black eyed peas to the pot and stir. Add the broth and sausage chunks.
- Set the Instant Pot to pressure cook for 12 minutes. (Note: it will take the Instant Pot about 15 minutes to achieve pressure because of the volume of food in the vessel).
- Let the pressure release naturally. Stir in the chopped cilantro and serve with cooked white rice, additional fresh cilantro and hot sauce if desired.
