Pea soup is a tasty, healthy and very filling dish. But not every housewife will dare to cook it or make pea porridge. The whole problem is that the process takes a lot of time.
But experienced cooks know that you can significantly reduce the cooking time of a dish without pre-soaking the cereal. To do this, you need to know some subtleties.
What to do to make peas cook quickly
First, the peas should be thoroughly washed.
Then you can put it in a pot with water. For one glass of product you need to take 5-6 glasses of water.
When the liquid starts to boil, you need to wait another 10 minutes and pour in half a glass of cold water.
Once the water starts boiling again, the peas will become softer.
The manipulation with adding ice water can be repeated several times.
Chefs note that the process can be easily sped up by adding two tablespoons of butter to the pan. This will also enhance the flavor and aroma.
There is another way that will help speed up the cooking of peas.
To do this, leave the product in water for an hour before cooking, but at the same time add a teaspoon of soda. As soon as the peas swell, they should be thoroughly washed in clean water, and then you can put them in a saucepan.
