- Gather your ingredients. You can make pea porridge with either water or meat broth. It's cooked with vegetables, mushrooms, meat, bacon, smoked meats, or canned stewed meat. Let's go with the last option — it's the easiest and quickest to make.
- So the peas cook faster, soak them ahead of time, ideally overnight, so they swell up well. Rinse the split peas thoroughly until the water runs clear, cover them with cold water, and leave them overnight at room temperature.
- In the morning, rinse the peas again and cover them with a fresh batch of cold water — you want twice as much water as peas. Set the pot of peas over the heat. When the water boils, reduce the heat to low and cook for about 30 minutes, until the peas are soft. The liquid should fully evaporate and the peas should cook down. Add a pat of butter and turn off the heat.
- While the peas cook, sauté the carrots and onion in vegetable oil in a skillet (grate the carrots; peel and finely chop the onion). Fry the vegetables for about 10 minutes, then add the canned stewed meat. You can use beef or pork stew, depending on your taste. Stir and simmer the meat with the vegetables over low heat for 10 minutes. Combine the meat and vegetables with the pea porridge and mix. Your pea porridge with stewed meat is ready. All that's left is to taste it.
- This dish is especially good for people doing hard physical work or working outdoors in the cold season. Enjoy!
- Peas are a very wholesome food, rich in amino acids, easily digestible protein, and the fiber and dietary roughage needed for a healthy digestive tract. They're also rich in B, A, C, E, and PP vitamins, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and much more that the body needs. Peas help raise hemoglobin levels in the blood, normalize blood pressure, prevent thyroid problems, and support weight loss.
