Pea soup with pork - tips and tricks
• Does peas not cook for a long time and remain stiff? You can add a pinch of soda to the pan. The process will go faster.
• Salt slows down the preparation of peas, so add this spice to the first dish after the beans are soft. Otherwise, the cooking will be delayed.
• Tomato sauces and tomatoes also slow down the cooking process. Therefore, they need to be cooked separately, laying in the roast and only at the end send to the pan, let it boil for a couple of minutes, add the greens and you can turn it off.
• Do not know how much to soak peas for soup? You can put up to a glass of dry beans per liter of thick mashed soup. If you need to cook a soup of medium density, then half a glass is enough. Also consider the presence or absence of vegetables. On average, they can make 3 liters of soup with potatoes in a glass of dried beans.
• You can hold the bay leaf in the pan after cooking for half an hour, and then it is better to remove it, otherwise the dish will get an unpleasant taste.
