Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. It's a matter of taste here.

7. STEP 7

   

   I crushed the peas a little with a masher; it’s even better to take 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.

My husband brought a bag of peas and asked me to cook something lean for him) I haven’t cooked pea porridge for a long time, I even forgot what proportions are needed, but there is a favorite site with many excellent recipes! I immediately found a recipe for peas) I also decided not to soak the peas, especially since they are split, they should cook faster. I washed it and filled it with water in the proportions indicated in the recipe. I just took a double portion of food. Peas foam a lot, that's for sure) It's better to take a pan with high sides. But after removing the foam, I cooked the peas for exactly an hour over low heat, during which time the peas were well boiled, half of them turned into puree. I didn’t add water during cooking; I was quite happy with the consistency. I punched the peas a little with an immersion blender, but so that a small number of pea halves remained. It turned out to be a thick puree. Serve immediately, sprinkled with pepper from the grinder for flavor. I didn't add anything else. The peas turned out very tasty and tender! The texture is pleasant, melting, and it’s immediately clear that the peas are cooked correctly. Thanks for the recipe and useful tips!

Oh, and I cooked delicious peas thanks to the katushafin recipe. I had split peas, I didn’t soak them first, I just washed them several times until the water was clear. Add water and cook until the peas are ready, stirring occasionally. At the end, I added salt, mixed and pureed a little with a blender until a homogeneous consistency. Delicate pea porridge and very tasty! I recommend trying it.

You can add a little ground black pepper and a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil at the end of cooking. This will give the peas softness and enhance the aroma. Cold peas can be heated in a frying pan with a small amount of vegetable oil, excess moisture will go away and you will have delicious warm pea puree.
