- Rinse the peas a couple of times, then cover with boiling water and let stand for 15 minutes.
- Transfer the peas to a heavy-bottomed pot (I cook mine in a cast-iron pot), add the baking soda, and pour in boiling water so it sits about 3/4 inch (1.5-2 cm) above the peas.
- Set the pot over low heat and cook for half an hour (checking that there's still water).
- When the water has boiled off, add as much boiling water again as before, plus the salt. Keep cooking until tender.
- Peel, wash, and finely dice the onion and carrots, then sauté them in vegetable oil until deeply golden. Stir the sautéed vegetables into the pea purée, and add the butter and herbs to taste.
- Serve hot.
- Enjoy!
