Craving the classic British fish and chip shop experience? You can’t skip the mushy peas — soft, creamy, and slightly minty, they’re the perfect side for pies, pasties, or fried fish. This traditional mushy peas recipe is easy to make from scratch with dried marrowfat peas or quick with frozen peas for a shortcut. Let’s bring a taste of the UK to your plate!

🛒 Ingredients

Traditional Version (Authentic Chip Shop Style):

  • 1 cup dried marrowfat peas
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda (for soaking)
  • Salt, to taste
  • 1/4 tsp sugar (optional)
  • 1 tbsp butter or a drizzle of cream (optional for richness)

Quick Version (With Frozen Peas):

  • 1 tbsp butter
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1 tsp fresh mint or lemon juice

🍳 Instructions

Traditional Version (with Marrowfat Peas):

  1. Soak the Peas (Overnight)
    Place dried peas in a bowl with baking soda and cover with water. Soak overnight (at least 12 hours). Rinse well before cooking.

  2. Cook Until Mushy
    Add soaked peas to a saucepan, cover with fresh water, and simmer on low for 30–40 minutes until soft and mushy. Stir occasionally and top up water as needed.

  3. Season and Mash
    Add salt, a touch of sugar (if desired), and butter. Mash slightly for a rustic texture or blend for smoother consistency.

Quick Version (Frozen Peas):

  1. Boil or Steam Peas
    Cook peas in boiling water for 3–4 minutes or until tender. Drain.

  2. Blend and Season
    Blend peas with butter, salt, pepper, and mint (if using) until they reach a mushy texture. Add a splash of water or cream if needed.
