British Marrowfat Peas - Organic

What Are Marrowfat Peas? 

Marrowfat peas are 'plump' mature green peas that have been dried out naturally in the field, rather than your typical garden pea that is harvested while still young.

These peas are also used to make wasabi peas and naturally, they pair well with wasabi. 

Because of their starchiness, they make amazing mushy peas - much creamier and smoother than garden peas and also work really well in soups, casseroles and dips.

Cooking Marrowfat Peas

Soak overnight in plenty of water, then drain and rinse.

To make mushy peas, follow the steps above and then place in a pan, cover with water, bring to a boil and simmer for 45 to 50 minutes until soft and mushy.

What you do next depends on your taste... Season with salt and pepper and blitz in a food processor with a dash of butter to make a creamy mushy pea. Or, smash with a fork and add some finely chopped mint.
