Savory Black-Eyed Peas with Ham in the Instant Pot

Step 1

Begin by gently rinsing the vibrant green peas and seasoning them with a sprinkle of salt and pepper to enhance their flavors. Next, lovingly place them at the base of a versatile multi-functional pressure cooker, like the beloved Instant Pot®.

Step 2

As you continue crafting this delectable dish, add in a symphony of ingredients - fragrant chicken broth, juicy tomatoes, savory ham, slices of red onion, and a hint of pungent garlic. Carefully seal the lid shut, creating a cocoon of flavors waiting to burst forth.

Step 3

Now, navigate the settings of your pressure cooker and choose the Bean option, adjusting the pressure to high as per the recommendations of the manufacturer. Set the timer for a tantalizing 30 minutes, allowing the ingredients to meld and dance together in harmony.

Step 4

With patience and anticipation, grant the pressure cooker 10 to 15 minutes to reach its crescendo of pressure, building up the excitement within the pot.

Step 5

Once the timer sings its final note, release the pressure using the natural-release method, following the manufacturer's guidance with a window of 10 to 40 minutes. As you unveil the pot, be prepared to be greeted by a symphony of aromas and a medley of flavors ready to delight your senses.
