Swedish Yellow Pea Soup With Pork
Swedish Yellow Pea Soup With Pork
Ingredients:
2 cups dried Swedish yellow peas (see note), rinsed and picked over
3 quarts water
1 pound meaty fresh pork hock or a 2½- to 3-pound bone-in pork shoulder
2 medium onions, sliced
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon salt
Directions:
1⁄ teaspoon ground white pepper
8
NOTE: The classic Swedish yellow peas are whole, not split. If you cannot get the whole yellow peas, you
can substitute yellow split peas, but expect the soup to be thicker.
IN A SOUP POT, combine the peas and water (to cover). Soak overnight. Do not change
the water.
Cover the pot, place over high heat, and bring to a boil. Remove any pea skins that
rise to the surface. Add the pork, onions, ginger, allspice, salt, and white pepper.
Cover and simmer until the pork and peas are tender, about 3 hours.
Remove the pork and pull the meat off the bones. Cut into small chunks and return to
the pot.

SWEDISH PANCAKES
BAKE THESE IN A SWEDISH PLATTARPANNA IF YOU HAVE ONE. A PLETT (WHICH IS WHAT IT’S
CALLED IN ENGLISH) IS A PAN WITH LITTLE PANCAKE-SHAPED INDENTATIONS ABOUT 3" IN
DIAMETER. IF YOU DON’T HAVE ONE, SIMPLY MAKE THIN PANCAKES IN A HEAVY SKILLET OR
ON A GRIDDLE. IF YOU ARE SERVING THESE PANCAKES FOR BREAKFAST OR FOR DESSERT,
FILL WITH LING-ONBERRY JAM AND TOP WITH WHIPPED CREAM.
Makes about 24 small, thin pancakes
