Mushy Peas

1 cup dried green peas
4 cups water
1 clove garlic, optional
2 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons salt  or to taste
1 teaspoon pepper or to taste

Soak peas in water (remove any that float!) over night. Bring them
to a slow boil in the water they were soaked in. Reduce the heat
and simmer until the peas are tender.(this could take upto an hour
or more depending on the peas) After draining the peas, mash slightly
and add the other ingredients. Mix well and serve hot.

1 cup of dried peas = 2 1/2 cups cooked
