To Make in a Pressure Cooker:
- Place all of the ingredients into the pressure cooker, except for the collard greens (black-eyed peas, carrots, bay leaf, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, oregano, salt, black pepper, and water).
- Stir the mixture and lock the lid into place, making sure the nozzle is in the sealing position. Use the manual setting and set the time for 25 minutes.

- Take off the lid and discard the bay leaf. Add the collard greens and stir.

- Place all of the ingredients into a medium-sized pot, except for the collard greens (black-eyed peas, carrots, bay leaf, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, oregano, salt, black pepper, and water). Stir them mixture and bring it to a boil.
- Reduce the heat and simmer it for about 45 minutes, with a lid on at an angle, until the peas are nice and tender. You may need to add additional water if too much is absorbed/evaporated before the peas are finished cooking.
