Ingredients

1 lb. green split peas
1 tsp. salt
1 onion, studded with 2 whole cloves
1/2 tsp. marjoram
1/2 tsp. tarragon
1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
3 Tbsp. butter

Cooking Instructions

Place the peas in a kettle and cover with water. Add the salt and onion, bring to a boil and simmer over low heat for 1 hour, adding water as necessary. Remove the cloves from the onion. Add the marjoram, tarragon and pepper and cook very slowly for 1 hour longer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. The mixture should be very thick. Put through a sieve, check the seasoning and dot with butter. Serves 8.
