Vitellian Peas (Pisam Vitellianam Sive Fabam)

A savory-sweet ancient Roman dish of mashed peas (or fava beans) seasoned with pepper, lovage, ginger, honey, garum, wine, vinegar, and hard-boiled egg yolks. Named after the gluttonous Emperor Vitellius, this unique side is a historical predecessor to British mushy peas, but with a distinctly Roman flavor profile.

Critical Success Points

  • Cook the peas or beans until very soft and mashable.

Safety Warnings
