We agreed that the standout dish, in terms of pure flavour, was the black-eyed peas masala, made with cream and fresh cilantro. |
Bring a large saucepan of salted water to boil, add peas and cook for 5 minutes. |
I can't vouch for their tenderness, as compared to other raw peas I've had in the past. |
The pilau was served with fried onion and peas and was tasty, whereas the masala rice suffered from an overdose of black pepper. |
This was served with a creamy mash of onion, peas and capers, and it lifted the mash to balance beautifully with the fish. |
Huge plastic tubs of dried marrowfat peas would have to be left to soak overnight before being steamed in the morning. |
