Ingredients
  

  • Canola or Vegetable Oil
  • 1 Onion, diced
  • 4 Cloves of Garlic, minced
  • 10 Oz Collard Greens (We used the bagged collard greens from our store but you can use fresh as well.)
  • Kosher Salt, to taste
  • 1 Pound Dry Black-Eyed Peas, cleaned and rinsed
  • 2 Ham Steaks, diced and cubed
  • 2-3 Pork Hocks
  • 1 Tsp Better than Bouillon, Chicken flavor
  • 2 Bay Leaves
  • More Kosher Salt and Pepper to taste, if needed.
  • 6 Cups Water

Instructions
 

  • On the saute setting, saute your onions and garlic, with a little kosher salt, until onions are soft and translucent.
  • Add in the remaining ingredients and water.
  • Put the lid on and lock, and set the valve to seal. Pressure cook on high for 15 minutes.
  • Once the 15 minutes is up, let it naturally release for 20 minutes, before venting the seal.

Notes

We served our Black-Eyed Peas & Collard Greens on top of a Minute Rice Brown Rice & Quinoa Mix, that we buy, along with Pan Fried Chicken Quarters and Pan Fried Gravy and some Cornbread. I used a straining spoon to scoop out my peas, but this makes a good broth and we keep it and have eaten it like soup as well and its great, perfect for the cold Wintery season. I hope you all enjoy it!
