Soak peas overnight. Drain, rinse. Cook peas to very soft in just enough fresh water to cover. Add water as necessary during cooking, just enough to keep peas covered. Mash/whizz while hot. Paste can be cooked down if you think it is too runny, but consider that when it cools it gets firmer. Stir in other ingredients. Makes 3 quarts. [225 calories/cup]
