Instant Pot Black-eyed Peas are a fantastic side dish for any southern meal. The Instant Pot makes them unbelievably tender and flavorful. Just top them with a sprinkle of paprika and serve.
Soak black-eyed peas in water overnight or "quick soak" them by putting black-eyed peas in a pot and covering with water. Then heat (covered) over high heat until boiling. Boil 2 minutes. Remove from heat and leave lid on the pot for 1 hour while peas soak. Drain well then rinse with cool water.
Place black-eyed peas in inner pot of Instant Pot and add chicken broth, water, shortening, and salt.
Cook on High Pressure for 30 minutes with pressure release valve set to Sealing. Allow pressure to natural release for at least 10 minutes then quick release.
