Ingredients

1 cup black eyed peas
2.5 cups water (or vegetable broth)
salt to taste

Instructions

No Soaking Method

Rinse 1 cup of dried black-eyed peas 1-2 times. Add the rinsed black-eyed peas to the Instant Pot bowl along with 3 cups of water, and salt.
Close the Instant Pot with the pressure valve to Sealing. Pressure cook on HIGH for 8-10 minutes (8 minutes for firmer beans, 10 minutes for tender).
Once the pot beeps, let the pressure release naturally. Open the Lid.
Take one black-eyed pea and mash it with your fingers to check the tenderness.
You can immediately use cooked black-eyed peas or refrigerate them for later use in an airtight container.
**Note: 1 cup of dried black-eyed peas yields 2.5 to 3 cups of cooked black-eyed peas. So this equals 2 cans of black-eyed peas.
