Boiled bacon with pease pudding
Not Too Tricky
serves 6-8
About the recipe
This always reminds me of my Nan, who often used to cook this when I was a little boy. She cooked the hell out of it in a pressure cooker! It is absolutely delicious, especially with pease pudding and English mustard. You can buy some lovely pieces of gammon or hock bacon from the supermarkets. I always buy the unsmoked bacon for this dish, as it is not such a dominant flavour and you can boil it. Don't forget to soak the split peas the day before.
