Method

  • step 1

    Put the marrowfat peas and bicarbonate of soda in a large heatproof bowl and cover with boiling water. Leave to soak for 12 hours or overnight.

  • step 2

    Drain the peas and rinse them twice with cold water to wash off the bicarbonate of soda. Put the beans in a saucepan and cover with 650ml cold water. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 30 mins until tender, stirring occasionally.

  • step 3

    Mash briefly and stir in the butter, mint and lemon, seasoning to taste.

Question from the states: we don’t have marrowfat peas over here, what would be a good dried legume substitute? Would split peas work? Thank you!

Yes agree with other person who replied. The Batchelors Bigga dried peas are excellent. I was raised in north of England. Have never added salt or sugar during cooking. However once cooked and serving .. each person to add sea salt, brown malt vinegar ( i drown mine) and a generous dollop of …
