Best Mushy Peas
24 Answers
Fancied fish and chips tonight - oven chips and a piece of salmon with lemon. I had Harry Ramsden's mushy peas and they didn't taste of much, to he honest. Are there any nicer ones around?

Ingredients
8 ounces/225 grams dried marrowfat peas (available in supermarkets)
2 tablespoon baking soda
Salt (to taste)
Pepper (to taste)
Sugar (to taste)
Place the peas in a large bowl or stock pot, the peas will swell and so need plenty of room to expand. Add the baking soda and cover with 1/2 pint boiling water and stir to make sure the baking soda has dissolved.
Add the peas and leave to soak overnight, or for a minimum of 12 hours.
Drain the peas in a colander, then place in a large saucepan.
Cover again with cold water and bring to the boil.
Lower the heat and simmer for approximately 30 mins or until the peas have softened and turned mushy.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
I quite like some chopped chives in them too but that's personal.

If you can't be bothered to soak and make your own. I can and do, but it is a pain in the chuff sometimes. Then M&S mushy peas are pretty good. Otherwise go to your local chippy and get a couple of large portions . Freeze em and microwave in a dish with a tablespoon of water and stir as they heat up. Works for me.
I buy these, cook them a little longer than the pack says and season to taste - I cook the whole bag and pot or bag up in portions and freeze.

Thanks for the further replies. I don't really want to buy frozen ones as I hardly ever eat them. Last time I did that it took me about 2 years to use them all. I mainly used them in Keema but there's only so much Keema you can eat. I guess I`ll just try different brands or maybe as Togo said, get them from the fish and chip shop.
