IP Beans - BlackEye Peas

BattMom4

Blackeye Peas cooked in less than an hour using the Instant Pot.

Olive oil

½ onion, diced

12 oz dried blackeye peas, sorted and rinsed, unsoaked

4 cups water (more if you like soupy beans)

salt

pepper

Smoked Paprika (optional)

Add a splash of oil to the Instant Pot liner.

Select "saute'" and adjust to "less"

When oil is hot, add diced onion

Saute' onions until about ½ way done.

Add 4 cups of water

Add dried beans

Select "beans" or "manual" and adjust time to 25 minutes.

When pressure cooking time is completed, allow a natural pressure release if you have time. If you use quick pressure release, do so with extreme caution as beans are a food that may froth.

Add spices as desired. Smoked paprika is good to add for a smoky flavor when you don't have ham or bacon cooking with the beans.

If using 16 oz (1 pound) bag of blackeye peas, increase the water to 6 cups.

This recipe took less than one hour including prep, heating (9 minutes), cooking (30 minutes) and natural release (16 minutes).

I cooked this for 30 minutes and they were almost too done. I reduced the time in the recipe to 25 minutes.

There was very little liquid left when using 4 cups of water and 12 ounces of dried beans. I added an annotation to the recipe to increase the water for more soupy beans.

My 6 quart IP could have easily cooked the entire 24 ounce bag of dried blackeye peas.
