Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 3 carrots peeled and cut into ½ inch dice
- 1 onion cut into ½ inch dice
- 2 stalks celery cut into ½ inch dice
- 1 pound black eyed peas dried, rinsed and sorted
- 2 cups cubed ham or preferably a meaty hambone
- 7 cups water
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Turn Instant Pot to sauté and drizzle in the olive oil.
- When hot, add the garlic, onion, carrots, and celery and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Sauté until slightly softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the black eyed peas and stir to combine. Top with the hambone or the cubed ham.
- Pour in 7 cups of water.
- Lock the lid in place and set the valve on sealing. Set the pressure to high and set the timer for 20 minutes.
- When the timer beeps, let the pressure cooker do a natural pressure release for 30 minutes, then turn the valve to venting and let the rest of the pressure come down.
- Remove the hambone and when cooled enough to handle, shred the ham and add it back to the beans. Taste and add salt and pepper as desired.

Notes
Note - I used 2 cups of cubed ham in the ingredients so that I could get nutrition information, I would highly recommend using a hambone.
