Black Eyed Peas with Greens and Pork. IP and PIP

This Pic above shows the Peas, Pork and Greens all made together in the same Pot for the same amount of time. 30min with 20 min NPR. The Peas naturally stay on the bottom, layer them first then the meat and then the greens.

For the Black eyed Peas and Pork….

*Substitute Ham Hock or Bone for the Pork if you like. (But skip the Better than Bullion and Only add 1 tsp Seasoning Salt)

*If you are doing the Greens too and want to do them at the same time and in the same Pot, please read to the bottom before doing them. There are several ways including making the Black eyed Peas, Pork and Greens in the same Pot at the same time. Including Cornbread if you want. All the Recipes are on the website.
The process can be done in reverse as well. Pork and Greens on the bottom and Peas with Bacon in a bowl on top of the Pork and Greens.

This is for the Pork and Peas only:

1 lb Pork Shoulder/Butt cut into 1” wide strips about 6” long seasoned with Johnnies seasoning
1/4 Large Onion chopped.
2 cloves Garlic chopped.
1 heaping tsp…full salted Better than Bullion Chicken
A few shakes Johnnies Seasoning, Slap ya Mamma or Tony Chachere’s Season.
2 cups Dried Black eyed Peas. Culled and rinsed.
5-6 cups water
Note … if your using Costco’s Reduced Sodium Better than Bullion, use a bit more and add more shakes of Johnnies.
Put the Lid on. Vent to Sealing. Set manual and the +20 min.
Allow 10 min NPR, before opening.
If doing Greens at the same time, Have a Plate ready to put the hot Bowl of Peas or Greens on as you take it out.

*If you are going to add the Greens in their own Bowl at the same time, use a long legged trivet and put it down into the Black eye Peas and Pork.
But if you are doing the Pork, Peas and Greens together….. you will only need 5 cups of water to the Peas because the Greens make a lot of their own broth that will be in with the Pork and Peas… make sense?

FOR THE GREENS in a separate Bowl: PIP on top of the Pork and Peas…:
1 bunch Collards or Kale chopped.
2 cloves Garlic chopped.
1/4 Large Walla Walla Sweet Onion chopped.
3 strips Bacon
3 tbsp Butter.
1 tsp of the Fully salted Better than Bullion Chicken, (not Costco).
A few dashes of Johnnies seasoning.
1/4 c Water

Use a stainless steel flatter bottom bowl that will fit about 1 inch or more below the rim of the pot, it is ok if the greens are a little high as long as you can get the lid on well and the vent is not blocked when you lock it on. Use a long handled trivet or create a sling, or have a pot lifter available so that you can get them out to get to the pork and peas on the bottom…….(they will be hot)..so put the bowl on the trivet and add the water to it.
Chop Greens and put about 2/3 of them into the bowl, smash them down, add the rest of the ingredients, then top with the rest of the greens so that as they wilt, they will wilt down into the bowl. Dont worry if some of that juice drips into the pork and Black Eyed Peas.
Put Lid on, vent to sealing, set manual to 20 min. 10 min npr. stir the greens together to get the flavors in them all. Remove Greens bowl and set them aside onto a plate,( they will have their own juice in the bottom).

This Pic above shows the Pork and Greens cooking together in the bottom with the Peas and their liquid in their own stainless bowl put on top of the pork and greens.
This picture above shows that in this batch the pot has black eyed peas and seasoning, bacon, garlic, onion on the bottom then seasoned pork, then the greens, some more onion, garlic, bacon then the long legged egg trivet, then the half recipe of corn bread, covered with a paper towel, 17 min/12 min NPR .
