Equipment

  • Instant Pot

Ingredients

  • 1 cup black eyed peas dried
  • 3 cups water for cooking
  • 3 cups water for soaking (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Soak the black-eyed peas for 6 to 8 hours. Though soaking is optional, I usually soak my black-eyed beans.
  • Wash the soaked or dried black-eyed peas a couple of times and add them to the Instant pot inner pot.
  • Then add water, salt and close the Instant pot with its lid. Seal the pressure valve. Use 2 cups of water for soaked peas and 3 cups of water for dried black-eyed peas.
  • Select manual or pressure cook mode and cook it for 5 minutes on high pressure for soaked black-eyed peas. Cook it for 16 minutes on high pressure for dried black-eyed peas.
  • Once the Instant pot finishes cooking, wait for 10 minutes and manually release the pressure.
  • Strain the cooked peas, and the Instant pot black-eyed peas are ready to use in any recipe. And you can use the reserved water in other recipes like soups & curries.
