Time 10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups water
10 1/4 ounces/300 grams garden peas (fresh or frozen)
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
Salt (to taste)
Black pepper (to taste)
Optional: 1 tablespoon butter
Optional: fresh mint leaves (chopped)

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Add the water to a medium pot and bring to a boil. Add the peas, fresh mint, and a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the peas are tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Drain the peas and mint in a colander.
  • Using an immersion blender , quickly purée the peas and mint to create a smooth paste. If you don't have an immersion blender, use a food processor instead or mash the peas well with a potato masher or fork. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste.
  • You can use the peas in rough purée form, but if you want a very fine, smooth purée, push the mixture through a fine sieve.
  • Stir in the butter and chopped mint leaves (if using) until all the butter has melted and is incorporated into the purée.
  • Serve minted pea purée warm alongside your favorite meat or fish dish.
