Instant Pot Black Eyed Peas with Ham | Food Under Pressure
I made these Black Eyed Peas in my Instant Pot pressure cooker with a left over Ham bone that had a decent amount of ham remaining on the bone. Did you know you can probably snag a ham bone from your local butcher or grocery store – call and ask!
Anyone else serve black eyed peas and ham for New Year’s Day? I served these and my husband raved about them! Honestly, these are good to eat any day, like EVER. They’re great as leftovers, too. Serve with some Instant Pot Cornbread and perhaps some Easy Pressure Cooker Collard Greens and you have a killer meal – all made in your Instant Pot!
Of course, you can make your cornbread and collards any other way you might want. The world, and your kitchen, is yours!
