Pin Recipe Instructions
- Soak peas for 5-6 hours in plain water, then rinse and fill with clean water. Boil over low heat for 1-1.5 hours. It is better to fill the peas with water in a ratio of 1: 3 so that the water does not boil away during cooking.
- When the peas are mashed, lightly salt them and add a spoonful of butter for a softer, more delicate texture. Cool it down.
- Add the yolk to completely cooled or slightly warm pea puree. Mix well with a spoon.
- Cook the potatoes and mashed them. Add some butter and some salt to the mashed potatoes for flavor.
- Mix two types of puree – pea and potato. Beat the remaining egg white until stiff. Add the whipped protein into the puree and gently, slowly, mix.
- Cut the ham into strips and the onion into half rings. Fry the ham and onions in a piece of butter.
- Put half the mashed potatoes and peas in a baking dish, and spread the ham and onion filling on top. Cover the filling with the remaining puree.
- Sprinkle the potato-pea casserole with grated hard cheese so that it forms a crust during baking. Bake in the oven at 200 degrees.
- The pea-potato casserole with ham is an alternative to your usual lunch or dinner, so be sure to offer it to the whole family.
Bon Appetit!
