Pea porridge in a slow cooker pressure cooker

You can cook any peas in this way - yellow, green, whole, chopped... In order for the peas to boil well, it needs to be soaked for 5 hours, no more, otherwise the taste of the finished dish may deteriorate. Sometimes it is difficult to calculate the time so as to comply with this condition. The advantage of this recipe is that with this method of cooking, peas do not need to be soaked in advance at all. It will cook perfectly without soaking and will taste tender.

So, wash the peas under running water until the water becomes transparent. After that, we put the peas in the bowl of a slow cooker-pressure cooker. Pour any refined vegetable oil there, mix everything well. Add a small amount of salt. If desired, at this stage, you can also put spices to taste (it is convenient to use a ready-made store mix).

Boil the specified amount of water, pour it over the peas. In principle, you can fill the peas with cold water, just in this case the process will take a little longer. Then we close the multivark-pressure cooker with a lid and turn on the "Pea" mode ("Quenching"), we set the time - 45 minutes.

While the pea porridge is being prepared, we go about our business and wait for the signal to end the program. When it sounds, we wait 5 minutes and relieve the pressure. If we have nowhere to hurry, we can wait until the steam slowly comes out by itself. After opening the lid, mix the porridge, put the butter and stir again. We are waiting for it to cool down a little and become thicker.

We lay out the finished porridge on serving plates, decorate to taste, if desired, pour a small amount of olive oil, sprinkle with nuts or seeds. It is very tasty if you supplement the porridge with pieces of meat or mushrooms fried with onions and carrots.

Bon appetit!
