Your menú for tonight?

[Sassy Colombian]

Haddock, chips and mushy peas. I might push the boat out and have a lemon wedge.

What are mushy peas?

Still the morning hours here in Asheville so for breakfast I will be making huevos rancheros. Two fried eggs served over black bean cakes, chorizo, feta, green tomatillo salsa, and spuds.

Happy New Year Kev! Best wishes to you and your family in 2021.

Thanks for sharing. I have had fish and chips before but never with mushy peas. I may find a recipe and give it a try.

What are mushy peas?

They look like guacamole, but are a form of bean thats been mashed up.

Staple part of fish and chips.

What are mushy peas?

I use dried peas and rehydrate them overnight. Good also for pea and ham soup.

It does look like guacamole, the question is whether is a good as guacamole? What are your thoughts?

Do you season them with anything besides salt?

I love pea and ham soup although I haven't make it in a while.

Homemade guacamole is wonderful.

Mushy peas are sound with fish and chips, but not much else.

Indeed, I prepare homemade guacamole every week and it is so delicious. Aldi's has the best prices for avocados here in the US so everytime that I go shopping there I purchase between 10-15 avocados. I pretty much eat one every day. Peas no so much but my daughter likes them so maybe she would give mushy peas a try too.

I put gargantuan amounts of pepper on and in everything, so, yes, pepper. Mint is also very nice.

I absolutely love Paella but have never dared to make it myself. Any good recipes you suggest?

Haha. I'm a man of few talents and cooking isn't one of them.

My father in law made it. We ate a couple of hours ago.

I think the main thing is the 'paella' pan.(You know the wide shallow pan they use to cook it) and the special gas ring burner to cook it so the heat is more evenly distributed. With a normal cooker/stove the rice will be over cooked in the midle and under cooked around the edges.

Guisantes cocinado tanto que forman un especia de pure.

Here in the US most stoves are electric very different from Colombia where gas stoves are the most common. I'm thinking the main issue with paella is making sure the rice is perfectly cook, not too hard not too mushy. I have wanting to make one for a while so I may venture into cooking this tasty dish in 2021
