Ingredients

2 lbs Collard Greens With Stems
4 slices Bacon chopped
15 oz Black Eyed Peas
1 cup White Onion diced
2 tsp Garlic minced
2 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
1 can Diced Tomatoes
½ cup Chicken Stock or vegetable stock
½ tsp Smoked Paprika
⅛ tsp Cayenne Pepper
1 tsp Sea Salt

Instructions

Wash and dry your collard greens thoroughly and chop into large bite sized pieces with the stems on. Alternatively, you could purchase a bag of pre-chopped collard greens to save time.
Turn instant pot to saute function on high. Add in chopped bacon and saute for 5-8 minutes or until bacon starts to brown. Add in diced onion, garlic, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt and continue to saute until onion becomes translucent (about another 5 minutes).
Add in your raw, chopped collard greens in batches. As they begin to wilt, stir them in with the bacon garlic and onion mixture and keep adding raw greens until they all fit in the instant pot.
Add in the apple cider vinegar, canned tomatoes (not drained), stock and stevia and toss with tongs until everything is combined.
Pressure cook on HIGH for 3 minutes and use a quick release once finished cooking. Adjust any seasonings if necessary. Rinse and drain canned black eyed peas and toss with cooked collard greens.
