Soak the peas
Add cold water and soak 6-8 hours. Drain the soaking water and rinse the peas. Return soaked peas the back to the casserole dish. (Alternatively, you can quick-soak the peas: add them to a large pot and cover with 2” of water. Bring to a boil and cook for 1 minute, then remove the pot from the heat, cover and allow to soak 1 hour. Drain and rinse before using.)
