TRADITIONAL BRITISH MUSHY PEAS



Traditional British Mushy Peas image

Mushy peas are the traditional accompaniment to authentic British fish and chips. In the UK they would be traditionally made using marrowfat peas, but this version uses much more readily available dried split green peas.

Categories     side-dish

Time 8h45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups dried split green peas
1 tablespoon baking soda
Salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
Fish and chips, for serving

Steps:

  • Put the split green peas in a large pot with the baking soda and enough water to cover the peas four times over. Cover and allow to rehydrate in the fridge overnight.
  • Drain the peas in a colander and rinse with cold water to remove any lingering baking soda.
  • Return the peas to the pan and cover with cold water by 1/2-inch. Add some salt, bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer. During the simmering, discard any pea foam that forms on top using a slotted spoon. The peas are done cooking once they just lose their bite, 30 to 40 minutes. Overcooking results in soup, which isn't what we're going for.
  • Remove from the heat, add the butter and stir to fully incorporate. Taste and add more salt if required.
  • Serve immediately with fish and chips, or cool and store for up to 3 days.

MUSHY PEAS



Mushy Peas image

So here is the story behind me and mushy peas. I love peas, but I don't like mushy peas (like the kind that come out of a can mushy, not like this recipe mushy), so when I read about mushy peas and fish and chips, my curiosity was piqued -- the description sounded good. So of course I went in search of a recipe. I have no looked back! This is so good! I eat it when we have real fish and chips and when we have grilled fish and sweet potato chips! It is also a great side for pork chops or potroast in place of the mashed potatoes! I found this on allrecipes.com sometime back in 2008. Very good!
