									  Directions: 
										
										
											
												- Clean peas and place in a heavy stockpot with water.  
      
     
      - Bring to a boil and stir occasionally for 10 minutes.  
      
     
      - Remove from heat and allow the peas to steep for one hour. 
      
     
      - Drain, then return to the pot with fresh water 
(just to cover)  salt & pepper.
      
     
      - Simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally until soft and most of the water is absorbed (about 1 hour).
      
     
      - Remove from heat and allow to cool.  
      
     
      - At this point, you can just put the peas in the fridge until you're ready to use them, or purée them in a food processor
processor (or through a ricer, as our local chef, Agyro does)
It depends on the texture you want.  
      
     
      - The purée also becomes thicker under refrigeration.
      
     
      - Mix with a little olive oil, minced onions, salt and pepper.  
      
     
      - Parsley or capers and black olives make a nice garnish.
      
     
      - **May be enjoyed as a soup or an appetizer, just add more water for the desired consistancy.
