Pease Pudding - Traditional Pease pudding recipe

[@AccioPadfoot12]

Thank you! I'd never had pease pudding before; made it and loved it!

[@BackyardChef]

Yes its one of those dishes most folks have not tried and its ok. Best, Rik

[@christineledwell4776]

Here in Newfoundland, we cook pease pudding in a bag and put it in the pot with our Jiggs Dinner, i.e, salt beef, cabbage, carrot, turnip and potatoes

[@AccioPadfoot12]

@@christineledwell4776 I made Jiggs too! I cheated though and cooked the salt beef and chicken together in the instant pot, then cooked all the veg in the brine from the meat. It's the down and dirty faster version of Jiggs but oh so good!

[@TobiasC-mg4zk]

Everyone should have the joy of trying an authentic Newfie Jiggs dinner! It was my first taste of peas puddin cooked in the salt beef brine. Served with bread dressing, mashed potatoes, boiled veg and beef gravy. Soul food!

"Some like it hot, some like it cold. Some like it in the pot, 9 days old!" I've been curious about peas pudding my whole life, that being one of the first little poems I learned as a toddler. I thought it stayed on the fire 9 days. Thank you!

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@JaneJones-lg3bd]

I understand an old nursery rhyme now! Whenever I watch your videos my mouth just waters! My dad would have loved what you just made here! I'm Canadian but he was from Britain! Watched you make corned beef lasagna last evening! Love your videos. You are my favourite KZbin chef!

[@BackyardChef]

Wow, thank you. Best, Rik

[@MrCrchandler]

A lot of English cookery is the direct inspiration for the cookery of the Southern US. We commonly make a similar dish using the black-eyed pea.

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

The way I heard it as a child (here in Minnesota) was "Pease porridge hot ....". Whether it's soup, hummus-like porridge, or firm pudding, I imagine it all tastes pretty much the same way. Thanks for the lesson on pudding, and the history. I honestly didn't know it was cold and firm. I'm back now, I had to run to the kitchen, dig a container of my home-made pea soup out of the freezer and nuke it in the microwave. I love the stuff.

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@marklong3043]

M and pease pudding sandwich, something you can't beat, my nan used to make a broth with a ham shank boy was it good, Thank you again for all the videos and memories 😊

[@BackyardChef]

Agreed! Thank You. Best, Rik

[@DonnaMartinKuhn62]

Love this recipe! I had never heard of pease pudding. I’m definitely making this. Thanks Chef! 🧑‍🍳

[@BackyardChef]

Donna, it's Rik. Hope you enjoy. Best, Rik

Hi mate, a geordie here, I use a few ham hocks, for the stock bay leaf and pepper, I love to add a ham stock cube then pressure Cook it, takes a third of the time, then I add the meat in little pieces and spread it warm on a stottie, I cook my peas right down and it solidifies when it cools

[@BackyardChef]

Nice one Peter thanks for your comment. Best, Rik

[@JosephCapelli]

I have to be honest, the first time a Geordie friend told me about this I was repulsed but it looks very nice! Almost like a savory porridge in terms of texture and appearance, reminds me of a dish the Romans used to eat called "puls" that was in a roughly similar vein. Thanks for making this video!

[@BackyardChef]

It's an acquired taste, to be sure - but you know it's pretty good. Best, Rik

[@James-n8v1g]

It's not an acquired taste it's beautiful, I lived in the north east for a year and fell in love with it. I just don't think it's very nice to look at.

[@TobiasC-mg4zk]

I acquired a taste for it the first time I et a Newfoundland Jiggs dinner. It’s not unlike a gam and pea soup only it’s more substantial and thick. Great texture. A bit of beef gravy on it and it is delicious.

[@ndlz1]

I remember as a child here in the U.S. there was a rhyme we’d play a game to that used the words Pease pudding cold, Pease pudding hot, Pease pudding in the pot nine days old. Never knew it was about a recipe.😂

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@carollewis5931]

My mum was from Newcastle-upon-Tyne UK and I knew that rhyme we always had pease pudding on a Sunday if we had roast pork greetings from South Wales UK 😊

[@BackyardChef]

@@carollewis5931 Thank you. Best, Rik

[@simonrisley2177]

Really good! The Pease Pudding I've eaten (and made) has always used ham stock, though -- not pork. Also, we rolled it up in a muslin like a huge sausage and poached it in the stock, rather than putting it into plastic containers. Then you'd just cut slices as needed.

[@BackyardChef]

Sound great the Simon. Best, Rik

[@impunitythebagpuss]

Can't have a traditional "jigg's dinner" here in Newfoundland without having pease pudding boiled in a bag. Cooked in the pot with the salf beef, after a couple of hours,add the cabbage, carrots, turnip and taties! Turn out of the pudding bag and mash with butter and pepper! Great the next day ,cold, sliced, on homemade bread as a sandwich!

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@kevowski]

Hi Rik That’s an interesting recipe, I never realised it was made using split peas. I use yellow split peas for making Dal bhuna and they have a lovely flavour and texture Thank you for sharing 👍🏻

[@deborahstevens9587]

Looks delicious.

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@Pam-tx5zd]

Bought pease pudding isnt as good as home made. And we used to put bits of the ham shank into pease pudding. Delicious

[@chrysalis72]

I'm reading a book about war time and I remember the skipping rhyme came up west of Scotland, or clapping, pease pudding hot,pease pudding cold,pease pudding in the pot two days old. ..yum ham hough,must ask my mum if she's eaten it,it's not made now sadly.❤ Thanks for sharing your skills.xmargaret Scotland.

[@pattidrier9593]

I’m going to make this!!

[@user-np5vy4ds5o]

Funny you recited that childhoods nursery rhyme because the entire time you were cooking it, i was also playing back that rhyme in my head. I've never had Pease Pudding, but i am Spanish American. But yet i still knew the nursery rhyme. I love pea soup. It is what i usually make after the Christmas ham. But i would like to try your recipe and have it cold. Soundd like a good summer dinner plate. Thanks chef😊❤

[@BackyardChef]

You are very welcome. Loved reading this. Thank you. Best, Rik

[@paulinewayland713]

I've never had it before despite coming from West Yorkshire. Id love to try it though

[@BackyardChef]

Obtained all the ingredients ready for my mission tomorrow, finding the yellow split peas was a challenge lol. Thanks Rik for giving us this version

[@BackyardChef]

Makro Hangdong mate as you walk in the first lot of shelving on the end of the aisle but they aint always there took me a while to find them - and they are Aussie split peas but they are the real deal. Dont forget Chris this is traditional not with cured smoked ham which is delicioius. Best, Rik

[@icemanknobby]

@@BackyardChef lol, you must of had the last packet:-) I called in there, looked at the end of the isle where the Dhal is, non there, I found them eventually in Kad Farang Rimping after going to Airport Plaza Rimping and Bakersmart with no joy. Today is the big day, I might pressure cook the joint just to save time etc but the peas I will do with a boil. Thanks again Rik, I will await you next post:-)

[@BackyardChef]

@@icemanknobby They are know as yellow split peas but out here they should be known as golden split peas - expensive and hard to fined actually gold is easier to buy here than these split peas and that is true. Best, Rik

[@lespearson562]

Just found this video mate. You made it like my mother did. Spot on. I am a Northern boy too...Can you remember Ibbetsons Pork Dips? Always had Pease pudding and some crazy flavour going on in that bun....Tried for years to replicate it but never managed. I think the secret was the the stuffing they added. Have a go bro i am sure you will knock it out of the park.

[@BackyardChef]

Nice one Les - will have a look into it mate. Best, Rik

[@ChelleLlewes]

Oh, my...turns out, I've been making pease pudding for decades without knowing it! 😄 Except, in my kitchen, it's called habitant-style pea soup (habitants were early french settlers in eastern canada)! Hot, it's thick and rich and buttery, and a perfect compote for dipping flatbreads and vegetables. Cold, it slices, scoops, and molds. 🥰😋

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@jwkennington]

Pease pudding, or porridge, dates back to Tudor England. It was a dish whipped up by ship's cooks before battle. A hot meal before the fight. A cold meal after. And if the chase lasted several days, Jack had Pease pudding for nine days. While chasing enemy ships, cook fires were not permitted.

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@chrysalis72]

Lovely😅I love ham hough. My mum would make soup. That's the best you made,off the leg.liked subbed.

peas pudding is readily available from the deli counter of all the supermarkets here in the north east and also sold in the chilled section, not a rare as you think it is.

[@BackyardChef]

Rare in other parts of the country and NOT available around the world - and should be - its delicious. Best, Rik

[@markandrewcook6513]

Part 2: is that your homemade bread? Whole meal? Is there a vid for that plz? Cheers!

[@BackyardChef]

Yes and no vid. Thank you. Best, Rik

Hello Rik 👨‍🍳 Pease Pudding Very lucky dogs 🐶🐕 first time knowing Pease Pudding I guess being an Aussie no wonder I have not heard of Pease Pudding 🍖

[@BackyardChef]

It was very common in the North East of England sadly not as common anymore - I love it - great with bacon and sausages and thick sliced toast with a good helping of butter on. Best, Rik

[@icemanknobby]

@@BackyardChef goes well with savaloys too. Now that would be a challenge lol

[@BackyardChef]

@@icemanknobby on it mate

[@James-n8v1g]

If you have too much stock for the peas then why not boil the stock down to reduce it to the 1.5 liters that you need, it will concentrate the stock flavour

[@deniskearney2368]

I know it has a bad reputation (which is thoroughly undeserved) -but I always add some MSG which boosts the already lovely flavour even more

[@BackyardChef]

Some moan about it - It is widely used in foods that the moaners eat. Don't worry, add away. It's down to taste and adjust - if it works for you, you are eating it. Best, Rik

Mix a little flour with it and fry it as patties in bacon grease--again watch the salt!
