- To begin the preparation, we select the peas and clean them to remove any impurities. Then, add 2 cups of water and let them soak and hydrate overnight.
- The next day, drain the peas and transfer them to a pot. Add 6 cups of water and bring them to high heat to soften.
- Meanwhile, we are going to peel and chop the vegetables into small squares.We start with the carrot, as it needs more time to soften due to its dense texture.
- Next, peel the potatoes, celery Spain and onion. We also remove the garlic leaves and chop them finely.
- Wash and remove the skin from the chorizo.
- Check the peas and, if they are already dry, drain them completely once more. In the same pot, add oil and prepare a sofrito. Add the chorizo and then the vegetables.
- Allow the sofrito to integrate and absorb the flavors. Then, add the bay leaf and seasonings for flavor: garlic powder, smoked paprika, black pepper and salt.
- Add the peas and carrots to the sauce, stir and integrate them so that they are impregnated with flavor.
- After adding the water, cover the pot and let the peas finish cooking until they are completely soft and the mixture thickens.
- In the meantime, we chop the cilantro finely and wait. After the time has passed, we check the peeled peas and, if necessary, rectify the flavor. Otherwise, we leave them as they are and let them cook until they are completely thickened.
- Add the cilantro and let the peas thicken and soften.
- Ready, the peeled peas are ready. Garnish with cilantro, serve and enjoy, bon appetit!
- A thousand blessings.
