Use your instant pot to make a Hoppin' John dish that is so hearty and flavorful, the promise of luck when eaten on New Years is merely an added bonus. The old Southern tradition says that each person should eat one pea per year for good luck and posterity. You've got everyone covered with this fast, delicious go-to recipe.
I assume the jalapeño and green onions are chopped? Sliced? Left whole? Inquiring minds!
Absolutely best hoppin John recipe for a pressure cooker. I make this every year as part of my New Year’s menu and sometimes just for a cold day meal. I use the ham bone saved from Christmas with some of the meat I intentionally leave on it.
I’ve made this multiple times now and it’s my go-to for black eyed peas. So delicious, I always eat more than intended! I’m always someone who likes altering recipes, but not this one. It’s perfect as is. Excellent served with corn bread and collards on New Years Day. Highly recommended!
I made this minus the ham hock (we were having Kalua Pork made in my other IP). I used all the remaining bean liquid in lieu of the water (had to add a little bit of water) and pressure cooked the rice to ensure that it would be cooked (instructions do not clearly state to pressure cook the rice). Ended up seasoning with some Cajun seasoning (in addition to salt and pepper) and my family really enjoyed it!
This was beyond amazing! We used fresh black-eyed peas, so the first cook time was about 10 minutes. I made a wee bit more rice, because we're from Savannah and that's how we roll ... added more liquid from the beans. Fabulous! All had seconds.
Why would you throw away the onion and garlic? I never do that, just put them back in with the peas. And one green onion isn't nearly enough.
Other than that, it's a great recipe.
This is a good recipe, it makes more than 4 cups, but very pleased with it. The short little video also helped. Thank you.
I loved the recipe. I prefer my beans less mushy, so I recommend staying on the short end for cooking time there. But the flavors came together great. Took a little longer than expected to cook because of the time to get pot up to proper heat on each step. Thanks for sharing!
This was a first attempt at both the recipe and my new CPE. It turned out wonderful. Recommend watching the video. Was unsure of the releases as to whether they were quick or natural. They were both quick.
I've never had good Hoppn' John until I made this recipe. Very flavorable and tender. Excellent recipe.
