Medieval Menu: Pease Pudding

   Posted by: Julia Redlich   in Medieval Menu, Medieval Miscellany

Ingredients

1 cup split peas
2 thick slices of ham
1 cup water
Seasoning of your choice to taste

Method

Preheat oven to 135° C and prepare a lightly greased 23cm pie dish.

Wash the split peas and place in the dish.  Cut the ham slices into bite-sized pieces and mix with the peas.  Add seasoning, then pour the water over the mixture just enough to cover it.  Simmer in the oven until peas are dissolved and the mixture springs back when you touch it.

Serve hot to start your meal.  (Try it cold with a salad in summer.)

Note

You may find the water has to be topped up to stop the pudding becoming too dry while cooking.
