If it isn’t slightly murky green and lumpy then it’s not proper mushy peas! No food colouring please – we want to savour that greenish swamp colour 😄There is literally no way you can dress up how mushy peas look. But let us not judge a book by its cover! They’re delicious! – A classic accompaniment to fish and chips! I like to squeeze a little lemon juice over the top for some tangy freshness and dip in some lovely salty chippy chips. Soak the peas with boiling water and bicarbonate of soda. I like to soak them overnight. Drain and rinse them, then boil in water, stirring occasionally until perfectly mushy. Here’s how they look during cooking. It took about 30 minutes to get to the texture in the final image. Stir in salt, pepper and sugar and serve! This dish is a staple in chippys across the UK. I take after my dad in my love for mushy peas! Stay updated with new recipes!Subscribe to the newsletter to hear when I post a new recipe.
