2. Put them on to simmer with the tvp chunks until completely soft.

Peas Pudding;
Yellow split peas
1 tsp Swiss vegetable Bouillon (stock)
Vegan Butter
Lots of water.
1. Soak the peas overnight.
2. Boil in a big pan for 30 minutes, or until soft. Add a quarter of a block of butter just before it’s done.
3. Blend the peas. The more water you use the runnier the mix will be when hot.
4. Reheat.
(When cold peas pudding goes really firm so you can slice it for salad, sandwiches or on toast. yum.)
