1/ Preparation of peas
a/ Rinse the peas and soak them for 3 hours in cold water, changing the water 2 times.
b/ Drain them and put them to cook in a pot by pouring in your peas, your garlic cloves, your onion, then cover with cold water, cook at a gentle simmer for approximately 2 hours, salt with coarse salt only at 3/4 of the cooking time (test them, they should crush under your fingers)
c/ In a colander, drain your peas, your onion and your garlic cloves, then crush everything with a fork, then in a bowl, add the pig's foot meat, the fresh cream slightly warmed
salt and pepper to taste and keep warm.
2/ Puff pastry
a/ During the cooking of the peas, we will take care of it.
b/ Brush the pastry rounds with beaten egg, then prick them with a fork so they don't puff up during cooking, refrigerate for 30 minutes, preheat your oven to 200° (Gas mark 7), take out your pastry rounds, brush them a second time and bake in the middle of the oven for approximately 20 minutes, they should come out very crispy.
2/ Heat the black pudding in a pan with the 50g of butter then remove the skin and crush it with a fork, give it a grind of pepper and keep warm.
3/ Assembly of your puff pastry
In a large round dish place your 1st disc of puff pastry then spread the crushed black pudding on top, install as a 2nd layer your crushed peas and pig's feet then cover with your 2nd disc and put back in the oven for a few moments at medium heat
when serving add the chervil leaves.
