Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb. bag of black eyed peas
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 6 cups low-sodium vegetable broth

Instructions

  1. Set your Instant Pot to sauté and let it completely heat up. Add in the onions and cook for about 2-3 minutes or until the onions are soft and translucent.
  2. Change the setting to Manual on the Instant Pot. Add in the vegetable broth, the black-eyed peas, and lightly stir to combine everything.

Notes

Make-ahead: This is an excellent recipe to prepare in advance because they are always better on day 2. Simply cook as directed, cover, and store in the fridge overnight.

Use dry black-eyed peas: This recipe is best if you use dried peas. Frozen peas will cook too quickly and turn to mush.

Don’t overcook: Black-eyed peas can turn to mush quickly they are overcooked. This is another reason not to use frozen or canned black-eyed peas.

Low-Sodium Vegetable Broth: Broth is much better for flavoring than water. One of the best things about black-eyed peas is their hearty and savory flavor. So, they require very little seasoning when cooking. The veggie broth will enhance the taste.

No soaking: This Instant Pot Black Eyed Peas recipe cooks fast, for a dry beans recipe, and doesn’t require any soaking. It’s one of the beauties of using a pressure cooker.

To double this recipe simply double the ingredients but NOT THE COOKING TIME!
