🥣 How to make (step-by-step photos)1️⃣ Step One: Rinse black eyed peas (optional step)If you’d like peas to cook slightly faster and to potentially make them easier to digest, give the peas a quick rinse and soak for 5-10 minutes before cooking. To do this, simply add the dried black eyed peas to a bowl and cover with water for 5-10 minutes. Then drain them before cooking in the pressure cooker. 👉 Why should you rinse your beans before cooking? Sometimes certain beans, peas, and pulses may have indigestible fibers that may cause bloating in some people. Giving your dried black eyed peas a quick rise and soak will help to remove some of these compounds before cooking, which makes them easier to digest later. However, if you don’t rinse them they are still perfectly fine to eat. Rinse and soak dried black eyed peas2️⃣ Step Two: Cook black eyed peas in the pressure cookAdd black eyed peas, water (see below for the correct ratio), salt, any dried herbs you’d like, and a drizzle of olive oil to the Instant Pot. Close the lid on securely, then pressure cook the beans on the high pressure or “beans” setting for 7 minutes. When time is up, release the pressure immediately. 👉 What is the correct ratio of beans to water in the pressure cooker? Generally we do 1 part beans and 3 parts water for a 1:3 ratio in the Instant Pot. So for this recipe we’re doing 2 cups of beans and 6 cups of water for 6 servings of beans (about 1/3 cup per serving). If you’d like more or less servings, use the servings adjuster in this recipe card or use the ratio of 1:3 for 1 cup of dried beans to give 3 servings. Cook on high pressure for 7 minutes3️⃣ Step Three: Serve or store beansWhen the beans are done, remove them from the Instant Pot with a straining ladle or remove the pressure cooker pan from the pot and drain the beans in a colander. Use the beans immediately if adding to soups, stews, salads, or serving as a side dish. Drain and store after cooking🧊 How to store
