Test Kitchen Tip
To soak the black-eyed peas, place them in a bowl with cold water to cover by two inches, then cover bowl and refrigerate overnight, or at least 6 hours.
Instructions
Cook bacon in Instant Pot on "Sauté" setting until crisp. Transfer bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate and discard all but 2 Tbsp. drippings.
Add onions, celery, garlic, thyme, and bay leaves; cook on “Steam” setting, partially covered, until onions soften, 10 minutes.
Deglaze Pot with wine, scraping up any brown bits; cook until evaporated. Stir in broth and peas.
Close lid, lock Pot, select "Manual" setting, and 40 minutes time. Pressure cook peas until time is up, then quick release and open Pot.
Sir in mustard greens and ham; season peas with salt, pepper, vinegar, and Tabasco.
Combine bell pepper, scallions, zest, and bacon for the relish. Top hoppin’ John with relish.
Deglazing with wine loosens the brown bits on the bottom of the Pot, while adding more flavor.
