Instant Pot Hoppin' John: A savory blend of black-eyed peas, ham, and brown rice, pressure-cooked to perfection.

Ingredients:

4.5 cups water
0.5 (16 ounce) package dry black-eyed peas - sorted, rinsed, and drained
2 tablespoons salted butter
0.5 medium onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups uncooked brown rice
2.5 cups chicken broth
2 cups diced cooked ham
0.5 cup chopped green onions
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste

Instructions:

Place black-eyed peas and water in an Instant Pot. Seal the lid, set to high pressure for 15 minutes per manufacturer's instructions, and wait for pressure to build for 10-15 minutes.
After setting the Keep Warm function for 5 minutes, safely release the pressure using the quick-release method following the manufacturer's guidelines, which takes about 5 minutes. Finally, unlock and lift off the lid.
Separate peas from the cooking liquid. Clean and dry the pot, then place it back on the stove.
In the cooker, saute onion, butter, and garlic for 2 minutes. Stir in brown rice until toasted, approximately 2 minutes. Add chicken broth, ham, green onions, salt, and pepper. Pressure cook on high for 22 minutes following manufacturer's instructions. Let pressure release naturally for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Activate the Keep Warm function for 10 minutes, then carefully release the pressure using the quick-release method following the manufacturer's instructions for about 5 minutes. Unlock and lift the lid off.
Choose the Saute function and mix in the peas and cayenne. Gradually incorporate reserved liquid as needed for moisture. Cook until warmed through, approximately 5 minutes, ensuring a moist consistency without being soupy.
