Background

Green pea pottage is loved by most Hungarian children because it’s quite sweet. We normally serve it as a side dish with grilled meat or Hungarian meatballs. Every mum has her own recipe, this one is a healthy version which is gluten and sugar-free. If you use vegetable stock or almond/oat milk then it can be dairy-free too. This version is super easy to make too!

Ingredients

200g sweet peas (small-eyed peas)
1 small onion (chopped)
1 Tbsp oil
1 Tbsp gram flour or cornstarch
100 ml vegetable broth or milk (can be vegan)
1-2 Tbsp Greek yogurt or sour cream (optional)
Salt & pepper

Instructions

Gently sauté the onion in the oil until soft, then add the peas. Cover and gently sauté for a few minutes, then remove it from the stove. Using a mini sieve or tea strainer, dust the flour all over it mix well then put it back on the stove and simmer for 1-2 minutes, whilst stirring.
Gradually pour in the vegetable stock or milk, while stirring constantly. Season with salt and pepper.
Cook at low temperature until it thickens to your liking (it shouldn’t be too runny but a custard-like sauce around the peas).
Serve hot with dollops of yogurt or sour cream.
