The next day, strain and rinse under cold water, then place the peas into a bigger saucepan and cover with water and bring to boil. Reduce the heat, and add the stock cubes and cook until the peas become soft. Strain, then press the peas through a sieve with very small holes.
Step 3

Add garlic and salt and pepper to the pea mash and bring again to boil. Take off the heat and set aside.
Step 4

Add a dash of oil and fry the onion until golden brown. Then fry chorizo.

This recipe is from my great grandmother. It is very cheap, but very tasty and yummy. You will be surprised how tasty it is. The kids will love it. Believe me! You can also save the strained pea liquid to make pea and ham soup.
