Cooking pea puree in a Panasonic multicooker is much easier than in a regular saucepan. For some, this will be the first experience of making such puree. When cooked correctly, it turns out tender and tasty, no worse than potato.
Pea puree can be served with vegetables during Lent as a source of complete protein and a large amount of vitamins and microelements. Serve it with onions and black pepper fried in vegetable oil or add butter. Pea puree goes well with meat and fish, complementing them as a side dish.
What exactly are peas good for? One hundred grams of green peas contains about 6 grams of protein similar in composition to animal protein, 0.4 grams of fat and about 15 grams of carbohydrates. Among the vitamins, peas contain vitamin A, several B vitamins and vitamin C. Including peas, there are six important microelements necessary for human life:
- Calcium, which is the building material of human teeth and bones, regulates intracellular processes, including the production of hormones and neurotransmitters, muscle contraction and exocytosis. True, to satisfy the need for calcium only through peas, you will have to eat 4 kilograms of it.
- Iron is included in the hemoglobin of the blood. With normal digestibility, about 400 grams of peas will be required to meet the daily requirement for this microelement.
- Magnesium is contained in the amount of 33 milligrams per 100 grams of peas.
- Phosphorus - in the amount of 108 milligrams.
- Potassium – 244 milligrams.
- Zinc – 1.2 milligrams.
In dried peas, the amount of vitamins and microelements is lower than in fresh ones, and if you add baking soda while mashing, it will approach zero.
Features of the dish
Cooking pea puree is quite simple if you follow the basic rules. First you need to buy high-quality dry peas. It should be with a good shelf life, yellow, even in color, halves or round (it doesn’t really matter). After purchasing, you need to sort out the peas, and after adding the amount required for the recipe, rinse them under running water.
Before cooking, peas are soaked in cold water for eight hours. If this is not done, the puree will not cook well, and there will be hard grains that will ruin the finished dish.
During cooking, you need to remove the foam after boiling and monitor the amount of water during cooking. There should not be too little or too much water. The multicooker is a great help during cooking, even if the water boils away ahead of time, the dish will not burn, and when you forget what you are cooking, it will stop cooking after a set time. You will have to grind the peas yourself, but if you do everything according to the recipe, it will not be difficult; sometimes it is enough to mix the well-cooked mass with a spoon.
How to cook pea puree in a slow cooker correctly?
The general procedure for this dish is the same as for mashed potatoes or any vegetable: the key product is poured with water and cooked over low heat (in the case of a multicooker, in a mode without significant boiling), after which it is crushed with a masher or blender. The list of ingredients for pea puree is as short as possible: peas, salt, sugar and butter. But if in general terms the algorithm is understandable to all housewives, then when trying to apply it in practice, questions arise. And they mainly concern the preparatory stage:
- What variety of peas should I take? There are grains of green and yellow varieties, the latter boil better, so they are more often used for purees. Greens are mainly used for soups and casseroles, where their dense structure needs to be preserved.
- What grains should I use? In the store you can find split and whole peas. The difference between them is the cooking time - the latter will cook for a very long time, and the chopped one will take longer. Otherwise, their qualities will depend more on the variety rather than the form.
- Do I need to soak peas? If the operating time of the multicooker is important to you, yes, you can’t do without soaking. Many housewives pour water over the peas overnight and start preparing the puree in the morning, which saves them time. You can only cook split peas without soaking, but before doing this you should pour boiling water over them for at least 15 minutes. It is not recommended to work with whole grains this way. The soaking itself lasts 6 hours for chopped ones, 10-12 for whole ones. But a multicooker reduces this time by 2 times.
Wash the peas for puree until the water flows cleanly, and cook for at least an hour, since you need the most homogeneous soft consistency. Many housewives are also concerned about how much water to pour into the multicooker. The proportions between liquid and grains depend on:
- their yellow varieties cook better and require less than green ones;
- integrity - split grains need 1.5 parts of water per 1 part of peas, and whole grains will need 2 parts;
- presence/absence of soaking - unprepared peas cook longer and absorb more liquid;
- goals - if you are preparing pea puree in a slow cooker for a child, you will need to take 4 parts of water or even more per 1 part of peas, but this is the proportion for soaked chopped grains.
Thus, the classic ratio of water and peas for puree is 2:1, the grains are crushed and soaked. If necessary, the figure increases to 3:1 or 4:1. Although some housewives prefer to simply add water to the multicooker as needed. But here, keep in mind that you only need to add boiling water, otherwise the peas will cook even longer due to the temperature difference.
