Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion chopped
- 2 celery ribs stalks, diced
- 1 bell pepper red or green
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme or 1/2 tsp dried
- 1 Tablespoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 cloves garlic pressed
- 3 ½ cups chicken broth
- 2 small bay leaves
- 4-5 lices Bacon chopped (or 8 oz)
- 1 small ham hock or meaty ham bone
- 16 oz black-eyed peas dry
- cooked rice for serving
Instructions
- Heat oil in the Instant Pot using the Sauté function.
- Add the onion, celery, and bell pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion starts to turn translucent.
- Add the thyme, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Stir.
- Add the garlic. Cook for about 30 seconds, stirring frequently.
- Add the broth, bay leaves, bacon, and ham hock.
- Stir in the black-eyed peas.
- Place the lid on the pressure cooker and lock it. Set the steam release knob to the Sealing position. Cancel the Sauté function.
- Press the Pressure Cook/Manual button and cook for 17 minutes on high pressure.
- When the cooking cycle has ended and the pot beeps, let it sit undisturbed for 15 minutes (15 minute Natural Pressure Release), then turn the steam release knob to the Venting position to release the remaining steam/pressure.
- When the pin in the lid drops down, open it and give the contents a stir. Discard bay leaves and ham hock. Serve warm over cooked rice.
Notes
- Make this recipe with dry black-eyed peas rather than canned as they will overcook.
- Allow the pressure cooker to naturally release rather than a quick release. This will mean everything in the pot will keep cooking.
- Before discarding the ham hock, scrape off any meat left on them and add it to the black-eyed peas.
- You can make it vegan or vegetarian by omitting the bacon & ham hock and replacing chicken stock with vegetable stock.
