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.

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.

Eden's latest recipe is inspired by the Catalan method of adding dry or fried bread to dishes to thicken sauces and make them more luxurious. Paired with the briny and acid dressing, this is a great way to eat beans, not at all heavy but both savoury and bright. Best served with salad and bread – double bread! – why not?

Sikil Pak is a deliciously nutty and moorish traditional Mayan dip made from toasted or roasted pumpkin seeds and charred tomatoes. Serve alongside freshly fried totopos (tortilla chips) with a margarita if you fancy.

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!
