Black Eyed Peas
Directions
- 1First, you're going to use an Instant Pot.
- 2Start with the black eyed peas. You do not even have to soak them overnight. You can just put them straight from the bag into the Instant Pot.
- 3Cut the bag and pour all the black eyed peas into the Instant Pot.
- 4Add two ham hocks. These will give a great smoky flavor.
- 5Add the ham steak. This is going to be the meat of the dish.
- 6Add the bones in there, too.
- 7Add one chopped onion.
- 8Add one chopped carrot.
- 9Add a little bit of chunky garlic.
- 10Add about one tablespoon of salt.
- 11Add about one tablespoon of crushed oregano.
- 12Add some fresh cracked pepper.
- 13Add a little beef bouillon (about one tablespoon).
- 14Add about four bay leaves (if you have big ones, just put two).
- 15Add regular tap water, just enough to cover everything that is in the Instant Pot.
- 16Stir everything well.
- 17Close the Instant Pot.
- 18Set the Instant Pot for an hour and a half on high pressure.
- 19Let it do a natural release, and when it's done, it will come out perfect.
- 20Open the Instant Pot. The broth smells amazing, the beans plumped up, the ham is tender and the hocks are falling apart.
- 21Serve and enjoy!
