Pressure-Cooker Black-Eyed Peas with Ham image

Here's a regional favorite I grew to love after moving to the South, pressure-cooker black-eyed peas. You'll never want to eat canned black-eyed peas again! Serve the dish as a side with grilled chicken, or make it your main course and round out the meal with greens and cornbread. -Tammie Merrill, Wake Forest, NC
