Ingredients

  • 1. A pound of dried black-eyed peas
  • 2. A pinch of salt and a sprinkle of ground black pepper to suit your taste buds
  • 3. A large carton of flavorful chicken broth, 32 ounces in size
  • 4. A generous can of crushed tomatoes, 28 ounces in quantity
  • 5. Two cups of diced, succulent cooked ham
  • 6. Half of a medium-sized red onion, finely chopped
  • 7. Four cloves of garlic, minced to add a burst of flavor

Step 1

Begin by gently rinsing the vibrant green peas and seasoning them with a sprinkle of salt and pepper to enhance their flavors. Next, lovingly place them at the base of a versatile multi-functional pressure cooker, like the beloved Instant Pot®.

Step 2

As you continue crafting this delectable dish, add in a symphony of ingredients - fragrant chicken broth, juicy tomatoes, savory ham, slices of red onion, and a hint of pungent garlic. Carefully seal the lid shut, creating a cocoon of flavors waiting to burst forth.

Step 3

Now, navigate the settings of your pressure cooker and choose the Bean option, adjusting the pressure to high as per the recommendations of the manufacturer. Set the timer for a tantalizing 30 minutes, allowing the ingredients to meld and dance together in harmony.

Step 4

With patience and anticipation, grant the pressure cooker 10 to 15 minutes to reach its crescendo of pressure, building up the excitement within the pot.

Step 5

Once the timer sings its final note, release the pressure using the natural-release method, following the manufacturer's guidance with a window of 10 to 40 minutes. As you unveil the pot, be prepared to be greeted by a symphony of aromas and a medley of flavors ready to delight your senses.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Utilize the Sealing Ring : When storing your savory black-eyed peas with ham in the Instant Pot, make sure to remove the sealing ring and wash it thoroughly to prevent any lingering odors transferring to your dish.
  2. 2. Freeze in Portions : To ensure easy reheating and reduce food waste, consider freezing the black-eyed peas in individual portions using freezer-safe containers or bags.
  3. 3. Label and Date : Keep your freezer organized by labeling the containers with the dish name and date of preparation. This way, you'll know exactly when it was made and avoid confusion.
