Suma Marrowfat Peas - 500g

Bring a classic taste of British comfort food into your kitchen with Suma Marrowfat Peas. These premium, plump green peas are left to dry naturally in the fields rather than being harvested young, resulting in a rich, starchy pea with a deeply satisfying, savory flavor profile. They are the quintessential ingredient required to make authentic, thick, and creamy homemade mushy peas from scratch. Packaged in a 500g bag, these dried marrowfat peas are 100% plant-based, naturally gluten-free, low in fat, and exceptionally high in vegan protein and dietary fiber, making them a nourishing and economical pantry staple.

Directions

Preparation & Soaking: Unlike split peas, marrowfat peas require soaking before cooking to rehydrate their dense interiors. Place the peas in a large bowl, cover generously with cold water, and stir in a soaking tablet (bicarbonate of soda) if included, or add a teaspoon of standard bicarbonate of soda to help soften the skins. Leave to soak at room temperature for 12–16 hours (overnight), then drain and rinse thoroughly with fresh cold water.

Cooking Instructions (For Classic Mushy Peas):

Place the soaked and rinsed peas into a large saucepan and cover with fresh water (roughly 1–2cm above the peas). Bring to a boil, skim off any foam that rises to the surface, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Cover loosely and cook for 45–50 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peas break down and thicken into a beautifully creamy, mushy consistency. Season generously with salt, black pepper, and a traditional dash of malt vinegar or a pinch of sugar to taste.

Culinary Uses:

• Fish & Chip Companion: The ultimate accompaniment to a classic British dinner, served alongside vegan fish alternatives and golden chips.

• Pie & Mash: Pile them high alongside savory vegan pies, creamy mashed potatoes, and rich onion gravy.

• Hearty Soups: Use them as a robust, thick base for traditional country-style vegetable and pea soups.

Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container.
