Instant Pot Black Eyed Peas (No Soak!)

"The first time I made dried black eyed peas in my Instant Pot, I couldn't believe how simple it was! This tasty legume is so easy to make in a pressure cooker and is done in just 45 minutes: no overnight soaking or long simmering required (which is what I was used to). I also love the texture: Instant Pot black eyed peas break down into their own thick sauce, flavored with garlic and smoked paprika."

"My beans came out great, lots of liquid, & the broth is soo tasty, but I'll serve over rice & quinoa mix, I don't think I had 1 lb. of dried beans, a bit over 1 cup dried. So I adjusted the liquid in recipe. Perfect for the Instant Pot!! Since I cooked this on New Year's Day 2024, I'm expecting good luck throughout the new year!! I loved the easiness of this recipe, especially on a holiday! Thanks!!👍"

Dried black eyed peas cook to a tender, creamy texture in an Instant Pot without overnight soaking. Pressure cooking reduces total time to about 45 minutes versus long stovetop simmering. The peas break down into a thick, flavorful sauce enhanced by garlic and smoked paprika. Vegetable broth provides savory depth, and the recipe is adaptable for serving as a creamy side, a component in salads like Texas caviar, or a protein-rich addition to other dishes. Readers report easy execution, tasty broth, and flexibility to adjust liquid for personal preferences.
