Soak the dried peas overnight. Drain, rinse and place them to the pan. Finely slice the leek. Add the olive oil, chopped leek and 2 pints of water to the peas. Bring to the boil and simmer for about an hour, or until the peas are tender. Season with the sea salt and dill. Put in a blender and process until smooth. Warm gently in the pan before serving. |
