Northumbrian Carlings

900ml (1½ pints) Stock or Water
225g (8oz) Dried Green Peas
50g (2oz) Fresh White Breadcrumbs
1 Medium Onion, finely chopped
50g (2oz) Butter
½ tsp Mixed Dried Herbs
Salt and Black Pepper

Soak the peas overnight in cold water.
Drain and rinse thoroughly.
Place in a large saucepan and cover with the stock (or water).
Boil for 1½ - 2 hours, stirring regularly, add extra stock (or water) if needed, until the peas are tender.
Allow to cool.
Drain (reserving the liquid).
Place into a bowl with breadcrumbs, onion, herbs, half of the butter (melted) and season to taste.
Mix well to form a stiff mixture, adding a little of the reserved liquid (if required).
Shape into cakes, lightly dust with seasoned flour.
Melt remaining butter in a frying pan and fry until golden brown, turning once.
Serve immediately with gammon, ham or grilled bacon.
Alternatively, they can be used as a part of a vegetarian meal.
