Rinse the samp thoroughly under cold water to remove any dust or debris.
Place the rinsed samp in the pressure cooker.
Add 4 cups of water to the pressure cooker. The ratio of water to samp is typically 4:1, but you can adjust it based on your preference.
Add salt to taste. You can also add other seasonings or ingredients like herbs, spices, or vegetables at this stage if you desire.
Close the pressure cooker lid securely and ensure that the pressure release valve is set to the sealing position.
Set the pressure cooker to cook on high pressure. The cooking time will vary depending on the brand and type of pressure cooker you have, as well as the age and quality of the samp. As a general guideline, you can start with around 30 minutes of cooking time.
Allow the pressure cooker to come to full pressure. Once it reaches full pressure, the cooking time will begin.
After the cooking time is complete, turn off the heat and let the pressure release naturally. This process allows the samp to continue cooking and absorbing the flavors.
Once the pressure has fully released, carefully open the pressure cooker lid.
Check the consistency and tenderness of the samp. If it's not fully cooked to your liking, you can return it to the pressure cooker for additional cooking time. Add more water if needed.
Taste the samp and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If you added other ingredients, make sure they are cooked to your desired tenderness as well.
Serve the samp hot as a side dish or as a base for stews, soups, or other dishes.
