Ingredients | Jamaican Rice And Pigeon Peas Instant Pot

2 tablespoons butter

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 onion, diced

3 stalks celery, diced

2 bay leaves

½ teaspoon dried thyme

3 carrots, chopped

6 slices bacon, chopped (Optional)

4 cloves garlic, minced

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

6 cups chicken broth

1 pound green split peas, rinsed and sorted

Directions

Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Let warm up and add butter and olive oil. Add onion, celery, bay leaves, and thyme. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion starts to turn translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add carrots, bacon, garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in split peas. Close and lock the lid; set release knob to Sealing position.

Select Manual/Pressure Cook setting according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 18 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 15 minutes. Turn steam release knob to Venting and use quick-release function for the remaining pressure. Carefully open lid. Remove bay leaves. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.

For a vegetarian version, substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth and 1 teaspoon liquid smoke for the bacon.
