Peas Blue 500g

Recipes & Uses

Perfect for Dhal & Spiced Pea Dishes

Whole Blue Peas work particularly well in spiced lentil and pulse-style dishes.

Simmer them until tender, then combine with flavours such as onion, garlic, ginger, turmeric, cumin, coriander and chilli for a warming savoury meal.

Great for Curries

Their relatively firm texture makes Blue Peas well suited to vegetable curries and thick gravies, where they can absorb plenty of spice while still providing some bite.

The current SpicenEasy page specifically notes that they are excellent in spicy dishes.

Ideal for Hearty Soups

Use Whole Blue Peas in vegetable, ham-style or meat-based soups when you want a substantial dried pulse.

Slow simmering allows the peas to soften while adding body to the cooking liquid.

Perfect for Stews

Add soaked and cooked Blue Peas to slow-cooked vegetable or meat stews.

Their mild flavour makes them easy to pair with herbs, spices, tomatoes, root vegetables and savoury stocks.

Whole Blue Peas vs Split Green Peas

The key difference is how the pea has been processed.

Whole Blue Peas retain their outer skin and remain whole, creating a firmer texture.

Split Green Peas have been split and generally break down more readily during cooking, making them especially useful when you want a smoother, thicker soup or dhal. SpicenEasy's current product description explicitly identifies its Blue Peas as the whole form of the peas used for split green peas.

How to Cook Whole Blue Peas

Rinse well before cooking.

Because these are whole dried peas, soaking them before cooking can help reduce cooking time and encourage more even softening.

After soaking, drain and simmer in fresh water until tender. Cooking time will vary depending on how soft you want the peas and how long they have been soaked.

An Excellent Pantry Pulse

Whole dried peas are useful for economical, filling dishes and readily take on the flavours of the ingredients they are cooked with.

Use them in curries, dhal-style dishes, soups, stews and one-pot meals.
