1 ham hock, 2 celery stalks, 10 ounce tomatoes with jalapenos, 14.5 ounce tomatoes with green chilies
Put the lid on the Instant Pot and make sure the seal is in place and the pressure valve is sealed. Set on Manual, high pressure for 30 minutes. It will take about 10 minutes to reach pressure.
When cooking is complete let the pressure release naturally for 15 minutes. Release any remaining pressure.
Remove any ham bones from the Instant Pot. Stir and serve.
Notes
You can substitute diced tomatoes without chilies if you prefer less spicy food.
This makes black eyed peas which are soft and tender. If you like your black eyed peas to be firmer reduce the cooking time to 25 minutes.
If the final dish is too soupy for you drain it or just serve with a slotted spoon.
