Black Eyed Peas in the Instant Pot

 

INGREDIENTS

 

2 cups dried black eyed peas (Sorted, rinsed, and soaked overnight)

1 Tbls. olive oil

5 cups water

1 Tbls. salt

Black pepper (optional)

 

Sort and whirl 2 cups black-eyed peas, dry In a large mixing basin, cover the peas with water and soak overnight.

Drain the water, then rinse and drain again.

Put peas in your instant pot's silver pot.

5 cups of water should be added on top.

Stir in a tablespoon of olive oil and another tablespoon of salt.

Place the lid (with the seal still in place) on top. Set the top valve to the sealing position.

For 35 minutes, press the "beans" button or set to manual. When the timer runs out, it will beep.

After that, allow the pressure to naturally dissipate for 15 minutes before releasing any residual pressure by pushing the valve to the vent position with a big slotted spoon.

Carefully remove the top, remove the silver pot, taste, and season with extra salt or pepper if desired before serving.
