English Pease Pudding - made with Split Yellow Peas

Home   Recipes for Pulses, Grains, Seeds, Flakes, Flour, Ferments...   English Pease Pudding - made with Split Yellow Peas
British Dried Peas Hearty History Hummus Peas Pulses Split Peas Split Yellow Peas Vegetarian

by Josiah Meldrum May 06, 2015

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.

Preparation time: 5 mins | Cooking time: 60 mins | Total time: 65 mins

Serves: 4 to 6

Ingredients

  • 500g Split Yellow Peas
  • 1 small Potato, finely chopped
  • 1 Onion, finely chopped
  • Bouquet Garni
  • Pinch of Salt
  • A little Pepper
  • 2 Cloves
  • A little bit of Butter
Or see below...

    Method

    1. Put all the ingredients except the butter in a heavy pan and cover with water.
    2. Bring to the boil, cover and simmer until everything has cooked down (top up with water as needed and stir occasionally to stop it sticking) - it will take about an hour.
    3. Add the butter, a bit more salt and pepper to taste and mash it up; you can make a smoother pudding using a stick blender.
