Ingredients
- 16 oz dry black-eyed peas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion diced
- 2 cups andouille sausage sliced and halved (or other smoked sausage)
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 cups ham diced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 bay leaves
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- 10 oz diced tomatoes with chiles
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Using the saute mode, heat the electric pressure cooker until “hot.” Add the olive oil, sausage, and onion. Cook until the onion is softened and the sausage is browned, about 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in garlic.
- To the electric pressure cooker, add the chicken broth and scrape the bottom with a wooden spoon to remove any cooked on bits. Cancel the saute mode. Stir in the salt, peas, bay leaves, thyme, and ham. Pour the tomatoes with chiles on top and do not stir.
- Place the lid on the electric pressure cooker and set the valve to sealing. Set the pressure cooker to “manual” or “pressure cook” for 20 minutes. Naturally release for 15 minutes when the cook cycle is complete and then quick release the remaining pressure.
- Remove the bay leaves and stir the peas before serving.
