Instructions
Vegan Black Eyed Peas Instructions
- Turn the pressure cooker on to the Saute function. When the display reads Hot, add the oil.
- Add the chipotle pepper, onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion starts to turn translucent.
- Add the thyme, smoked paprika, pepper, cumin, and salt. Stir.
- Cook for about 30 seconds, stirring frequently.
- Add the broth, liquid smoke, bay leaves, and tomatoes.
- Stir in the black-eyed peas. Add the lid twisting to lock it, and turn the valve to sealing. Cook at high pressure 17 minutes.
- Turn the valve to venting. and then let the pressure release naturally undisturbed for 20 minutes. Unlock lid, and remove thyme and bay leaves with tongs. Stir the pot. Test for taste, adding salt and pepper as needed.
Notes
- Be sure to remove the chipotles from the broth after about 15-20 minutes. Otherwise you'll have some fiery broth after it breaks down and release seeds into the broth.
- Don't be so quick to release pressure manually. Rely on natural release and you will end up with both more flavor and better texture.
- After cooking I like to add a little acidity to open things up. Lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, etc. are great for this. Add after pressure cooking - just stir in and allow to jell for 10-15 minutes or so.
- For a more creamy bean recipe, cook a bit longer on the saute settings after pressure cooking. Alternatively, you can also remove a cup or two of the peas and smash/puree them then add them back to the pot.
- If going meatless, it's important to add flavor/season at every step.
- This dish can be cooked on stovetop at a low simmer until desired consistency and texture achieved.
