Mushy Peas - The ONLY WAY which is Acceptable - without Marrowfat peas!

- Опубликовано: 28 июл 2024
- Mushy Peas - The majority of British people love this green, thick and soupy consistency side dish. Enjoyed with British classics such as: Fish Chips and Mushy Peas, Pie Mash and Peas Etc. They are also enjoyed simply on their own, usually with a generous lashing of mint sauce.
Traditional mushy peas are made from Marrowfat peas and have a fantastic texture. The ONLY acceptable way to copycat Mushy Peas is with Green Split Peas - Now the process is more or less the same and the finished texture and taste is 98%. NONE of this frozen garden peas and butter mushed up! The problem with green split peas they DO NOT naturally mush as they cook and need a helping hand with a blender. Once blended they are the BEST Alternative Copy of the traditional MUSHY PEAS!

I have had stomach problems for years, most days I am in pain. But I love proper English food. Since watching this channel, I have enjoyed cooking from scratch…lots of recipes from this man. I have never been a bad cook, I seem to be good at adding herbs and liquids to add extra tastes to dishes. This man is brilliant, to me he is a top chef. He shows you can cook the food you enjoy, you don’t have to eat ready meals as his recipes are easy to follow and take hours to prepare and cook. Also, my stomach seems to be a lot better than it has for years, no more ready meals for me unless it is a good quality pie though Rik shows you how to make and deliciously so too. So thank you, 🙏🏻 I never watch the Ramsey’s and co when everything I like to eat and prepare with minimal fuss is here
Wow! Thanks for sharing. Good luck to you. Thank you. Best, Rik
Soaking some split green peas tonight so we can have with tomorrow's Pork & Sauerkraut. Thanks!!
As an American who has never tried mushy peas, I think I need to give it a go as they say over on the other side of the pond.
I love mashed potatoes and I love cooking things with peas on the side put mushy peas look like they could be an amazing side to a lot of dishes.
Thank you. Best, Rik
I’m stocking up for the recession and have three bags of dried peas. Tonight I’m testing out pea soup with carrot, potato, onion, leftover pork roast. Thanks for the idea! I’ve never tried mushy peas. But I will soon 😊And I said ‘mushy peas’ with a British accent about 20 times lol it’s fun 😂
Ha ha ha I have small 2 portion tubs in the freezer already to go - I make a big batch usually and freeze - thepeas are good for you and very freeze and reheat - fantastic adition to a meal especially in these times when fresh veggie prices are started to soar! best, Rik
Food of the Gods. That and black pudding.
Love Black pudding mate
I'll keep this in mind for the next time I make mushy peas. Marrowfat are hard to come by where I live and I wanted to do some traditional brittish cooking in the upcoming weeks. Paid too much for the amount I got online. Came across your video while looking for alternatives if I couldn't find any I was willing to pay for (and turns out what to found wasn't that great).
Charming video. You seem a very likeable chap. Thanks for the video (I'll probably be leaving the mint out though. Don't think I'd like minty peas, nor my kids).
This make a great alternative - obviously its not traditional, its as close as you will make. Let me know how you get on. Best, Rik
I just finished making this. Absolutely delicious!
as an alternative its ok Best, Rik
Well done and no escapeas .
Thank you. Best, Rik
Will try another time cuz the whole peas 🫛 are already soaking 😊
Thank you. Best, Rik
Thank you so much for this recipe, will make later today. Cant get marrowfat dried peas here in South Africa so very happy for this recipe! Will make a BIG batch and freeze some.
Originally from Yorkshire so mushy peas were always a favourite!
❤
Love to SA. This is the only alternative method to make anything that resembles mushy peas. Very acceptable if you can't get marrowfat peas. Best, Rik
australia split peas only ones i can get but yumm
Thank you. Best, Rik
Well done Sir !
Thankyou

Thanks, Jim. Don't forget this is the alternative way to make it if you do not have marrowfat peas. Best, Rik
10-4 your Right ,there's something special about Green Split Peas, had a Bowl of Green split Pea Soup (Jewish Style) was Wonderful as well. I'll have see if I
can Acquire the Marrow Fat Peas at my Local Farmers Market. Thanks Rik. @@BackyardChef
Good Luck! Best, Rik@@Luckey900
Garden peas? You jest surely? I too put a touch of sugar in the peas and a splash of vinegar, never thought of mushy split peas mind. Recall my grandparents with a box of marrowfat and a tablet they put in a little mesh bag. And what a simple wonderful dish mushies are, I like the leftovers on toast occasionally instead of baked beans. Throw a few ham hocks in that pan manna from heaven .
Thank you. Best, Rik
Hi Rick ive just subscribed. Is it true that yellow split pease are used for Pease pudding? Cheers Jeff
Jeff, I have no idea way I have replied to this 3 times already it keeps appearing. Yes mate. There is a video on the site. Thank you. Best, Rik
I ordered 6 bags of Batchelors brand. I am in the US and they are $6.50 a bag on amazon. I think they are fantastic. I got hooked on them. Due to them being so expensive I bought Rani green whole dried peas. Got 4lbs for $15 on Amazon. I just got them today and got them soaking overnight with this way of doing it. They are not split but whole. Is it the baking soda that gives the flavor? Guess I will find out tomorrow. Thanks for the video.
Have you seen tis video ruclips.net/video/7yhLQeiqbGQ/видео.html If you have marrowfat peas. Thank you. Best, Rik
the colour is not as good as marrowfat, but im glad you rinsed peas after soaking unlike your other mushy pea video. You make mortar! Just partial blending is enough to leave some texture.
This is an alternative - no way as good as using marrowfat peas. Which way do you prefer? Best, Rik
Mushy peas with frozen peas is Pea Mush...even Oliver Twist wouldn't want more of that!!
Yep. Thank you. Best, Rik
I used dried split peas but the peas are disintegrating after 10 minutes on simmer. Wonder what is going on. Might have to have pea soup this time around. I love real mushy peas!
Did you have the split peas soaking for a long time? When disintegrating is the water being absored and going down? Are the peas actually going soft when disintegrating? If the water is not being absorbed and the peas are going soft - ladel some water out. If the peas are soft not a problem get the water out and mush the peas. Remeber these are split peas not Marrowfat peas - the split peas should work like my split peas in this video. Let me know how you get on. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef they soaked overnight. It turned soupy but I just cooked them down and they turned out very good and tasty but much smoother than traditional mushy peas. Your flavour profile with the mint (I used Ballymaloe) and a touch of sugar with the salt was great. I'm going to order marrowfat peas and try it again.

Brilliant! Marrowfat peas are the original mushy peas - delicious! I'm please well done! Best, Rik
I DO BELIEVE WE CAN GET MARROWFAT PEAS AT INDIAN STORE IN U.S.I WILL BE HEADING THERE TOMORROW AS THAT IS ONE OF THE ONLY THINGS I CAN EAT NOW.I WILL LET YOU KNOW.ALSO U CAN GET THEM ONLINE.
Thank you. Best, Rik
It sounded as though you said Bulman's mint sauce, but all I can find online is Colman's.
Thats the one. Thank you. Best, Rik
I do the same except I put in boiling water and let soak for 4 hours like the bachelor quick soak ones I buy
Thank you. Great tip. Best, Rik
I made your bacon and pork meatloaf tonight for dinner. Delicious thank you. I would love that oven but I can’t find it in Canada 😢
Get in maaaa belllllyyyyy, lush with vinegar to
Sounds like a plan. Best, Rik
what does the baking soda do?
helps break down the peas. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef thanks for the tip.
No salt?
optional. Best, Rik
Mushy (Sloppy) Peas on Bread Oh Yeah!!
Thank you. Best, Rik
I stupidly tried making "mushy peas" by just mashing up regular canned sweet peas, and you're right -- mashed up peas are just not the same. Gonna have to try this method now.
Agreed, this is the only alternative way - I have chip shop mushy peas on the channel. (real mushy peas)
Thanks Chef! I can’t find Bigga or any other marrow fat peas anywhere in the States…except on line for the same price as spot gold!!!
This’ll be great…
Thank you. Best, Rik
This is not mushy peas more like Hulk’s excrement
Your right it aint mushy peas you are so observant its an alternative (the same as the title says) if you cannot buy marrowfat peas - not the frozen peas and butter mushed up like all those that cant cook make - this is as near to marrowfat peas as you can get - thanks for your stupid comment!!!
@@BackyardChef Where I live I can not buy marrow fat peas. Now and then I find a tin of bachelors mushy peas and they are almost whole and melt in your mouth. I tried with split peas but it is not the same. Anyway full marks for your effort.
@@MJ-tn5qp Have you seen my other video on chip shop peas - (on this channel) made with marrow fat peas I ordered online - they are the real deal. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef yes I have now 👍
