Peas have a very recognizable taste that many people like, which easily explains the popularity of dishes based on this legume.
But peas have one significant drawback.
It is that the peas need to be cooked for too long. First we have to soak them overnight, then cook them for a long time if we want to achieve a puree consistency.
Not every housewife wants to "burden" herself with such complexities. Therefore, there are two tricks that will help to significantly shorten the process of cooking legumes.

Butter
Many people use this trick when cooking potatoes for a side dish: the product helps the vegetable cook much faster.

Many people know about this trick, since soda has been used by housewives as an “accelerator” for cooking peas since Soviet times.
Just a couple of pinches will be enough to reduce the cooking time.
