TRADITIONAL BRITISH MUSHY PEAS



Traditional British Mushy Peas image

Mushy peas are the traditional accompaniment to authentic British fish and chips. In the UK they would be traditionally made using marrowfat peas, but this version uses much more readily available dried split green peas.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 8h45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups dried split green peas
1 tablespoon baking soda
Salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
Fish and chips, for serving

Steps:

  • Put the split green peas in a large pot with the baking soda and enough water to cover the peas four times over. Cover and allow to rehydrate in the fridge overnight.
  • Drain the peas in a colander and rinse with cold water to remove any lingering baking soda.
  • Return the peas to the pan and cover with cold water by 1/2-inch. Add some salt, bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer. During the simmering, discard any pea foam that forms on top using a slotted spoon. The peas are done cooking once they just lose their bite, 30 to 40 minutes. Overcooking results in soup, which isn't what we're going for.
  • Remove from the heat, add the butter and stir to fully incorporate. Taste and add more salt if required.
  • Serve immediately with fish and chips, or cool and store for up to 3 days.

MUSHY PEAS



Mushy Peas image

So here is the story behind me and mushy peas. I love peas, but I don't like mushy peas (like the kind that come out of a can mushy, not like this recipe mushy), so when I read about mushy peas and fish and chips, my curiosity was piqued -- the description sounded good. So of course I went in search of a recipe. I have no looked back! This is so good! I eat it when we have real fish and chips and when we have grilled fish and sweet potato chips! It is also a great side for pork chops or potroast in place of the mashed potatoes! I found this on allrecipes.com sometime back in 2008. Very good!

Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

5 tablespoons butter
3 cups panko crumbs
1 tablespoon seafood seasoning (recommended: Old Bay) or Szeged Fish spice, a palmful
1 tablespoon granulated onion, a palmful
1 tablespoon granulated garlic, a palmful
1 lemon or lime, zested
A couple tablespoons freshly chopped thyme leaves
A couple tablespoons finely chopped chives
1 1/2 to 2 pounds cod, cut from the thickest part of fillets shaped into 8 rectangular batons
Salt
2 extra-large egg whites, beaten to frothy
1 cup packed flat-leaf parsley
1 cup packed fresh mint
3 cups freshly shelled peas or frozen and defrosted organic peas, patted dry
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 large shallots, finely chopped
2 cups chicken stock-in-a-box
Freshly ground black pepper
Malt vinegar

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Arrange a baking rack over the top of a baking sheet.
  • Melt 4 tablespoons butter over low heat in small pot. Put the bread crumbs in a shallow dish and douse with the melted butter and toss to combine. Season with seafood seasoning, granulated onion powder, granulated garlic, citrus zest, thyme and chives.
  • Clean and pat the fish dry, then season with salt, to taste. Coat the fish in egg whites, then gently press them into the bread crumbs to coat evenly, then arrange them on the baking rack. Bake on center rack of the oven until the fish is white and flaky and the crumbs are golden, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, add the parsley and mint to a food processor and pulse to finely chop, then scrape into a bowl and set aside. Return the base to the processor; do not rinse the base. Add the peas and pulse until very finely chopped.
  • In a medium saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil, a turn of the pan, and the remaining butter over medium heat. Add the shallots and saute for 5 minutes, then add the stock and peas and bring to a bubble over medium-high heat. Cook the fresh peas for about 10 minutes, and about 6 to 7 minutes, if using frozen defrosted peas. When most of the liquid has evaporated, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and stir in the herbs. Remove from the heat.
  • Spoon pools of not-so-mushy peas onto each dinner plate and top with crispy fish batons. Douse the fish with lots of malt vinegar and enjoy!
