Pea porridge is a traditional Polish dish that warms the soul with its simplicity and rich flavor. Its history dates back to a distant past when peas were a primary source of protein for peasants and craftsmen. Today, this recipe is adapted for modern multicookers, preserving the rich taste and texture of the dish. The delicate pea mass is infused with the aroma of smoked bacon and ham, creating a rich, slightly salty flavor. The porridge is perfect as a standalone dish or as a side to meat. Its softness and richness make it an excellent choice for cozy family dinners or gatherings with friends. Serve with a slice of fresh bread to highlight its depth of flavor and enjoy traditional Polish cuisine in a convenient form.
