Russian Peas image

As a precocious Norwegian-Canadian kid, I learned to eat these first and then calmly state, 'Those were excellent, but they looked like vomit!' - and would instantly get banned from the table. It was okay, I was full and had eaten the best part of the meal! I'm an adult now, and they're still delicious (but vomitous looking - almost like a thick creamed pea soup, but they taste better). Give them a chance; you will never eat canned peas again!

Number Of Ingredients 7

½ cup dried whole peas
4 cups cold water
3 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Place peas with cold water in a pot; leave to soak for 24 to 48 hours.
