Categories     Side Dish

Time 12h40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 ounces/225 grams dried marrowfat peas (available in British supermarkets, specialty stores, and online)
2 cups boiling water
2 tablespoons baking soda
Salt (to taste)
Pepper (to taste)
Optional: 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar or to taste
Optional: 2 to 4 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
Optional: 1 to 2 tablespoons butter or to taste

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Place the peas in a large bowl or stockpot; they need plenty of room to expand. Add the baking soda and cover with 2 cups of boiling water. Stir until the baking soda dissolves.
  • Let the peas soak for a minimum of 12 hours.
  • Drain and rinse the peas well in a colander, then transfer them to a large pot.
  • Cover the peas with cold water (about 2 cups) and bring them to a boil.
  • Lower the heat and simmer the peas uncovered for approximately 30 minutes or until they soften and turn mushy.
  • Season the peas with salt and pepper to taste. Add the optional sugar if you prefer them slightly sweeter, heavy cream or milk to give them a fluffier texture, or butter for flavor. You can also smash them with a fork for a smoother texture, or run them through the food processor if you prefer a puree.
  • Serve the mushy peas hot with fish and chips or a tasty meat pie. Enjoy.
