Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to cook peas? Prepare food for her. I advise you to use split peas; they boil faster and there is no need to soak them. But if you only have a whole one, don’t worry, I’ll tell you what to do. Water will be needed in a ratio of 1:3 — for one part of peas, three parts of water.

Step 2

Step 2
First of all, rinse the peas well under running cool water. Change the water several times to thoroughly wash away all the dirt and dust. If you have whole peas, then fill them with cold water and leave for 10-12 hours. If the peas are split, like mine, you can cook them right away. Pour all the water into the peas and place on the stove.

Step 3

Step 3
Turn the heat to medium and bring the peas to a boil. Do not move away from the stove at this time; high foam will rise, which can escape and stain the stove. Reduce heat and skim off foam with a spoon. Add salt.

Step 4

Step 4
Leave the peas to cook on the lowest heat. Stir it occasionally, checking the water level. Gradually the peas will begin to soften and the porridge will begin to thicken.

Step 5

Step 5
From now on, watch her more closely. Peas tend to burn if left without enough liquid. Try the porridge; if the grains are still hard and the water has all boiled away, then add a little more. It is better to pour boiling water so that the peas continue to cook quickly. I didn’t add water, my peas boiled perfectly in an hour, even a little less.

Step 6

Step 6
Remove the pan with peas from the heat. Then you can go in two ways — immediately serve the resulting porridge or puree it. Peas from the stove have a rough texture with soft, but whole peas in the composition. Itʼs a matter of taste here.

Step 7

Step 7
I crushed the peas a little with a masher; it’s even better to use an old wooden masher; it will do the job faster than a modern one. Or you can puree the peas with an immersion blender, you will get a very delicate creamy structure. Serve the peas immediately. When cooled, it becomes very thick. When heating further, you will need to add a little boiling water to it.
