Notes

An instant pot is not necessary to make this recipe it simply speeds up the cooking time. This can be cooked on a regular stove with adjustments to cooking time. Cook until the peas are tender. 
If time does not permit soaking the peas, they can still be prepared without soaking. Rinse them well then cook. Soaking helps with cook time along with digestion.
