Mushy peas are traditionally served with fish and chips in the UK, but here in South Australia we like our mushy peas with meat pies!

Give a reverse Pie Floater a go this Australia Day using this Mushy Peas Thermomix recipe and my Aussie Meat Pie Filling found here.

    Delicious!! I make this whenever we have pies for dinner. I usually cook them for an extra minute or two, as I sometimes find the peas are still a little frozen. I also use dry mint, when I don’t have any fresh mint in the garden. Served up with the Sweet Potato mash, yummo!

  2. Oh Nik, having lived in Adelaide for 10 years an knows the traditional pie floater these peas are really great. I did have to cook them a lot longer, plus instead of salt I added a couple of teaspoons of chicken stock powder and a couple of dashes of milk. Yummm

  3. These were delicious. I lovely accompaniment to our meat pie. Will definitely make these again for various different things.

  4. Ok I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong but these are always partly frozen still when finished. I even cooked for slightly longer (10 mins) and it was cold when I mushed them?

    1. Same with me Gabby. They were cooked on top but not underneath funnily enough. Perhaps we are supposed to stop halfway through and give them a stir??

      1. Same here. I wonder if you’re supposed to use hot water. I normally add at least 3-4 minutes to the cook time as well as stirring multiple times during the cook (I just stir through the hole in the top while still cooking). It barely reaches Varoma temp in 10 minutes

  5. Made this tonight with the Aussie Meat pie filling (yummo) and silky sweet potato mash. Hubby declared the meal a winner!
    Love how simple and quick it was to make. Thanks Nik and Team for another bute dish 👍🏻😊

    1. Fiona Quinn my mum is English & uses McKenzies dried blue boiling peas to make proper English mushy peas, you have to soak them over night with some bicarb then cook long & slow.

  6. I hate peas, hate them, but this was delicious with the meat pie filling and rustic mash potatoes for Australia Day!
