Southern Black-Eyed Peas Recipe

I used Kale and since I made it after work, I didn’t want to eat so late. Oh my goodness was it delicious! Hearty and a side of sweet cornbread from the bakery. Perfect since the temperature here plummeted and it was a cold, wintery day! I might or might not have to freeze leftovers!😋

Brought my beans to a boil for 2 min. Let them sit for an hour, there were directions on the bag of beans, can also soak overnight. Then made on stove with kale.

Tasty, DEFINITELY will make again. I did make a modification for time; cooked the blackeye peas in the instant pot with broth (13 minutes high pressure, 10 min natural release). Due to that I reduced the 20 minute simmer period to 10 minutes and reduced the broth to 5 cups.

Made it on the stove and needed to cook the peas for atleast 40-45 minutes, and could've cooked it longer. Next time I'll make it in my pressure cooker and add a bit more sausage. Had double the amount of creole spice and a bit of light soy sauce and spiskummin. Used frozen peas, carrots and spinach instead of collard greens. Very good. Tasted healthy :)

I cooked the black-eyed peas separately in an instant pot pressure cooker. I drained and rinsed them. Then I sautéed the onions etc in olive oil and added the peas in with some ham and a cup ir so of chicken stock, then added the greens. Perfection!

Delicious! Made on Jan 1 with a ham hock. I sauteed bits of ham and did not remove while sauteing the onions and other veggies. Didn't have any bacon but we didn't miss it. Really tasty.

No Bacon. Cut bacon into 1” pieces and fry in heavy pan until it turns brown. Add onions garlic, celery and cook until onions are translucent, add thyme and cook for 2 more minutes . Deglaze pan with some of the Chicken Broth and add to slow cooker. (Cook HamHock in InstaPot HP for 10 min and add to slow cooker) Add rest of the ingredients & 2 Cups collard greens, 1 link Jalapeño Cheese sausage, 1 seedless Jalapeño, rest of the chicken Broth (8 cups total) Slow cook on high for 2 hrs

Subbed lil smokies for the sausage, subbed kale for collard greens. Instant pot for 30 mins and perfect!
