Instructions
- 1
Add black eyed peas (1 cup) and water (3 cups) (or vegetable broth) to the Instant Pot and stir to prevent sticking. Pressure cook on high for 8-10 minutes (8 minutes for more firm, 10 for more tender).

Once the timer goes off, allow to naturally release for 15 minutes, then release any remaining pressure. The beans should be tender and perfectly cooked.

Carefully remove lid once steam has fully escaped and drain any excess cooking liquid.

Enjoy immediately in soups or stews, with greens, rice, mashed potatoes, and/or roasted squash. Store cooled leftovers in the refrigerator up to 5 days or in the freezer up to 1 month. Reheat in a saucepan on the stovetop, adding a little water as needed to prevent sticking.
