Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to cook pea porridge without soaking in a saucepan? For the preparation of such porridge, chopped peas are best suited. In useful properties, it is in no way inferior to the whole, but it softens much faster. A small amount of soda will also help the peas to boil. And one more recommendation on how to cook peas faster. Salt it at the end of cooking, about five minutes before the end.
Step 2:
Sort through the peas, removing debris and unnecessary impurities. Then rinse it under cool running water. Rinse thoroughly until the water stops being cloudy and becomes transparent.
Step 3:
Pour the peas into a saucepan and fill with cold water. In order for the peas to cook faster, take a saucepan with a thick bottom or a cast iron. Put the pan on the stove over medium heat and bring the water to a boil. After that, reduce the heat and cook the peas for 40 minutes.
Step 4:
After the water with peas boils, watch for the formation of foam. As a rule, if the peas have been pre-soaked for several hours, there will be almost no foam. But since we cook peas without soaking, a lot of foam will form.
Step 5:
20-25 minutes after boiling, add soda to the peas. Do not add the entire volume at once, as strong foaming begins. And there is a risk that the liquid will spill out of the saucepan. Therefore, fall asleep in two approaches. After adding soda, cook the peas for another 15-20 minutes. To prevent the porridge from burning, stir it often. This is especially important at the end of cooking, as there will be very little water left. 5 minutes before the end, add salt to the dish. Porridge is ready, bon appetit!
If desired, you can give the porridge a more uniform texture with a blender.
To diversify the taste of pea porridge, you can add toasted vegetables, such as carrots, onions. It goes well with smoked peas. You can serve porridge with crackers, a spoonful of sour cream, chopped herbs.
