Pease Pudding
Ingredients
- 1 pound chana dal or yellow split peas
- 2 ounce butter
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 2 large eggs
- salt to taste
- 1 tsp white pepper
Instructions
Soak the peas for around four hours, rinse until water runs clear, add onion and clean water to just cover the peas and then simmer until soft. When you can crush the peas in your fingers, they're ready. Get all other ingredients ready as the next part has to be done very quickly, and while the peas are still warm. In a large food processor, add half the peas and half the liquid from the pan. Blend, adding the raw eggs, butter, salt and pepper. When smooth transfer to a large mixing bowl. Process the remaining pea mixture, then beat the two mixtures together with a wooden spoon. Divide into two portions and freeze, if desired.
