Instructions

Heat oil in a pressure cooker over medium heat.
Sauté onions and half the thyme for 2-3 minutes until translucent.
Add cow heel, season with salt and pepper, then sauté for 3 minutes.
Stir in water and a bouillon cube, then close and pressure cook for 30 minutes after reaching pressure.
Release steam, open the cooker, and add peas and additional water to achieve a soupy consistency.
Stir in the remaining thyme and cook on high heat until the peas soften (8-12 minutes).
Add okra, carrots, and dumplings, then cook with the lid slightly askew for 6-8 minutes until the dumplings are cooked.
Adjust seasoning to taste and serve hot.
