Best 2 Pease Pudding Recipes
Pease pudding, also known as peasemeal pudding, is a traditional dish from Northeast England, particularly Northumberland and Durham. It is a savory pudding made from dried, split peas that have been soaked overnight, then simmered with onions, herbs, and spices. The resulting mixture is thickened with oatmeal or barley and then baked in a cloth-lined basin or mold. Pease pudding has a distinctive yellow color and a crumbly texture, and it is often served with boiled bacon, roast beef, or ham. It can also be eaten cold, sliced, and fried. In addition to the traditional recipe, there are several variations of pease pudding, including one made with fresh peas and another that incorporates suet or butter. This article provides recipes for all three variations, so you can choose the one that best suits your taste.
