MUSHY PEAS
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!

TRADITIONAL BRITISH MUSHY PEAS
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.

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.

Steps:
- Put the peas into a saucepan add the bicarbonate of soda and the water then bring to a boil and cook for 10 minutes
- Take off the heat and leave to soak for at least 6 hours, but preferably 12. At the end of the soaking time the water will look yellow and the peas will have swelled
- Drain the peas and rinse in several changes of cold water to get rid of the bicarbonate of soda
- Put the peas into a clean pan and add 2/3 of the water. Bring to a gentle boil and cook for approximately 30 minutes, stirring frequently, until the peas are soft and mushy. Add more of the remaining water if necessary to keep the texture loose and creamy
- The peas are ready when soft, creamy and mushy. No firm or chewy peas should remain. When ready, take off the heat and season as desired (I recommend salt, pepper and vinegar) and serve straight away.

Taste again and add more salt if needed.Once the peas are done they will start to thicken the longer they sit. If reheating them later or the next day, add a little more water.

- Put your peas into a microwaveable bowl, sprinkle the salt and pepper and cover the peas with water. Cook on full power for between 6-10 minutes. Depending on the type of pea you have, it might take longer. I usually put mine on for 5 minutes, then check them to see if they've softened up. If they haven't, I just microwave them for a slightly longer.
- When peas are softened, drain the water from the peas and add the butter and optional cream. Depending on your taste, you may want to add a little extra salt. .
- To keep a tinned style effect, use a potato masher to mash down the peas, or for a more pureed version, like the image here, just pop them into a blender for a few seconds. This can also be blitzed for longer, as a pure puree version for those who need it.
