Updated at: Thu, 17 Aug 2023 14:00:24 GMT

Step 1

Add ham hocks to a pressure cooker

Step 2

Add onions, bay leaves, all spice balls, garlic and black pepper (as much as you like). Add salt in the end if needed

Step 3

Add enough water to cover the meat

Step 4

Set the pressure cooker to 45 - 50 min on high pressure

Step 5

Release and test tenderness. Fork should be able to pierce skin easily and meat tender. If needed, cook until desired tenderness at 5 min intervals.

Step 6

Once done add 5 minute rice to a pot and a can of blaceyed peas. Add liquid from ham hocks to the pot of rice. Enough to cover. Stir rice. Cover pot. Bring to a boil. Once the water lowers enough to just see the top of rice, turn off heat and allow it to sit for 5 minutes minimum until done.

Step 7

Once rice is done you can empty it in a bowl and now add the ham hocks (cut it up. You can disgard the skin and fat but I use it all). Stir the mixture up and plate. You can also chose to plate the rice and just lay the meat on top or on the side.
