Pease pudding hot, pease pudding cold... Still much loved and eaten in the North East pease pudding is sadly overlooked elsewhere but is an easy and satisfying dish to make with Split Yellow Peas. |
Pease pudding - also known as pease porridge, pease pottage or even "Geordie hummus" - is extremely easy to cook and very, very satisfying to eat – hot or, as the nursery rhyme says, cold.
Traditionally pease pudding is served with pork and was often cooked in a muslin with the ham. My version is vegetarian, it’s really good hot with roast vegetables and leafy greens or cold in a sandwich – much in the way you might use houmous. If you eat meat, search out a stottie and some good quality ham.

FYI I made it later today without soaking the peas (as I was impatient and assumed we didn’t need to) and it came out beautifully!
Thanks!

Thanks for the veggie version. However most recipes I have seen seem to instruct to soak the peas overnight before cooking. Is that the case here? Thank you!

The recipe was tasty, successful and very satisfying. I skipped the sprinkle of paprika shown in the photo. Check the consistency at about 45 mins to see if a little more water is needed but I would err on the thicker side. You can always loosen it up a little with a bit of extra butter if you are reheating a portion after cooling.
