Cooked this indulgent mess on 24th August, just before I finished the Viking project.
A tasty, stodgy all rounder from Craig Brooks’ Eat Like a Viking book, Split Pea Pottage shouldn’t taste as good as it does: a load of veg, stock, chopped bacon and garlic with mint thrown in together. Took about an hour and a half, an hour of which was just letting the ingredients simmer and reduce from watery gruel to something more solid. The bacon really stood out (and, weirdly, tasted more like ham). It’s like a dry pea soup.
If you have the time, it’s a good inclusion.
