Peas in a slow cooker

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 45 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to cook peas in a slow cooker? Prepare your food. It is best to use split peas for this dish. It cooks faster than whole. Yes, and it cooks better. Pre-sort the peas, removing excess debris and spoiled grains. Sometimes you can find small pebbles in peas. Be careful.

2. STEP 2

   

   Rinse the peas under running water until the water runs clear. Then, if time permits, you can soak the peas for a couple of hours. Pre-soaked peas cook faster. You can soak in either cold or hot water. There is another secret to cooking legumes faster - adding a pinch of baking soda to the water. If you do not have time to soak, then cook the peas immediately after washing.

3. STEP 3

   

   Peel and grate fresh carrots. You can also cut it into large bars or cubes.

4. STEP 4

   

   Turn on the slow cooker. Select a mode suitable for frying. That’s what I call it, “Frying”. Pour in vegetable oil. After the oil has warmed up a little, place the carrots in the bowl and fry them for four to five minutes, stirring with a special spoon. You can also add finely chopped onion to the carrots. You can also prepare pea porridge with tomatoes, sweet peppers, or without vegetables at all.

5. STEP 5

   

   Then add the washed peas to the multicooker bowl.

6. STEP 6

   

   Cover the peas with cold water. Salt and add your favorite spices. You can add dried basil, dill, ground black pepper. Select the mode for stewing, set the time to 1.5 hours. During this time, the peas will be completely boiled. If you like a more homogeneous mass, grind the finished porridge with a blender or crush it with a masher. When serving, you can add fried pieces of bacon to the peas or sprinkle it with croutons. Bon appetit!

It so happened that I had never cooked porridge from peas before. Today I filled this culinary gap and cooked peas in a slow cooker. I washed the peas and soaked them overnight. In the morning, I fried grated carrots in a slow cooker, added peas, water, salt to taste and set the stew mode to 1.5 hours. In my case, the peas turned into a soft puree within an hour (probably due to longer soaking, although a lot depends on the peas themselves). I really liked the new (to me) recipe! Delicate pea puree became even tastier and more aromatic with a piece of butter. I will definitely make peas again. Thanks for the recipe, Svetlanochka!
