Mashed Peas

Erbsbrei was always one of the most requested dishes at Oma Sieghilde’s house. Made primarily from mashed peas and potatoes, the dish may look like baby food to some, but don’t be fooled—it’s actually quite delicious. A bonus is that it’s super budget-friendly. Serve erbsbrei, like Oma did, with a generous scoop of crisped hand-cut lardons (grieben) and loads of sauerkraut and a glass of buttermilk. And to make the meal complete, don’t forget the Wiener sausages!
