No-Soak Instant Pot Black-Eyed Peas (a.k.a. Peas, Not Beans, Please Relax)
10 mins prepServes 6
A comforting and surprisingly low-effort recipe for no-soak black-eyed peas cooked in an Instant Pot with ham, garlic, and onion powder, thickened by blending a portion of the peas. No soaking, no chopping, no patience required.
1. Pick through the black-eyed peas, remove any sketchy ones, and rinse them.
2. Add peas to the Instant Pot with chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, and the ham.
3. Cook on high pressure for 10 minutes.
4. Let it naturally release for 15 minutes, then open.
5. Scoop out about ⅓ of the peas only (no ham) and blend until smooth.
6. Stir the blended peas back into the pot to thicken everything up.
7. Taste, then add salt and pepper as needed.
8. Serve hot and feel smug about it.
