Pea porridge from canned peas

2 servings

20 minutes

Pea porridge made from canned peas is a simple yet surprisingly delicate dish from Russian cuisine. Peas, long part of the Slavic diet, are known for their nutrition and mild sweet flavor. In this recipe, canned green peas are turned into a tender puree, while golden-fried onions add a deep aroma. The addition of butter and milk makes the porridge's texture silky, and flour helps achieve the desired thickness. Salt enhances the flavor, and fresh green onions add freshness and lightness. This versatile dish can be served as a side or a standalone meal, especially on cold days when one craves warming comfort food.
