Pea porridge with bacon
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Today we'll prepare pea porridge with bacon. All fans of this dish are sure to enjoy it. There aren't any major difficulties in cooking, but there are a few nuances. Don't cover the pot with peas right away, because when it starts boiling, a lot of foam will form. Once you've skimmed off all the foam, cover the pot with a lid, but not completely. During cooking, you'll need to stir the peas frequently and keep an eye on the liquid level. When the peas are fully softened and the porridge starts to "puff," it's time to turn off the heat. The porridge will still be quite runny, but it will thicken nicely as it cools. Anyone who likes peas will definitely enjoy this porridge, and fried pastries served with it are absolutely delicious. Serve hot.
