Pease Pudding

1.5 pt split peas (these are 20 oz Imperial pints, not the 16 oz US measure)
1 small onion
small bunch of herbs
2 0z butter or margarine
2 eggs
salt & pepper

Soak the peas overnight. Remove any discoloured ones. Rinse and cover with 
cold, salted water. Add the onion (whole) and bunch of herbs. Bring slowly 
to boiling point. Simmer very slowly until tender, 2 - 2.5 hours. Drain 
well and rub through a sieve. Add the butter (cut in small pieces), the 
beaten eggs, pepper and salt. Beat well until the ingredients are well 
incorporated. Tie tightly in a floured cloth and simmer in water for an 
hour. Turn out and serve very hot.
