LEMONY PEA AND SPINACH SOUP



Lemony Pea and Spinach Soup image

This verdant soup has nuance: Celery, leeks and vermouth provide grassy notes, just subtle enough so as not to obscure the delicate flavor of the peas. Bright and sunny - and hearty and comforting with the optional addition of pasta - it tastes like spring, but can be prepared perennially. Unlike many one-note blended pea soups, this one celebrates textures and flavors: Divide your soup across several bowls, then add a spoonful of pasta and a dollop of crème fraîche for bright tanginess. Because this light soup is vegetable-based, drizzle it with plenty of olive oil, for richness, and pile on as many fresh herbs as you can. Lemon zest is a garnish, but nonnegotiable for this dish to sparkle.

Categories     soups and stews, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
2 medium leeks (about 1 pound), trimmed, white and green portions halved lengthwise, then thinly sliced and rinsed (about 4 packed cups)
2 celery stalks, trimmed and thinly sliced (about 1 1/2 cups)
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/4 cup vermouth or white wine
3 garlic cloves, minced
5 cups chicken stock
16 ounces frozen peas (about 3 3/4 cups) (see Tip)
5 ounces fresh baby spinach (about 5 packed cups)
1/2 packed cup coarsely chopped fresh parsley leaves and tender stems, plus more for serving
1 to 1 1/2 cups small shaped pasta, such as ditali or shells (optional), cooked (about 2 to 3 cups)
Crème fraîche, for serving
Chopped chives and torn fresh dill, for serving
1 lemon, for zesting

Steps:

  • In a large pot, heat 1/4 cup oil over medium. Add the leeks and celery, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir in the vermouth and garlic, and cook until the liquid evaporates, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil over high.
  • Once it comes to a boil, add the frozen peas and cook, stirring occasionally, just until tender, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat, then stir in the spinach until wilted. Stir in the parsley.
  • Working in batches, transfer to a high-power blender and purée until creamy. (A food processor or immersion blender would work as well, though may take a little longer.) Return to the pot and season to taste with salt and pepper. (Makes about 12 cups.)
  • Divide among bowls. Add pasta, if using, then top with a dollop of crème fraiche. Drizzle generously - nay, recklessly! - with olive oil. Sprinkle with a pile of herbs; grate fresh lemon zest on top; and serve immediately.

SPINACH AND PEA FRITTERS



Spinach and Pea Fritters image

As a vegetable-forward weeknight meal, these spinach fritters have it all: sweet peas, gooey cheese and crispy bits. Made from thawed, frozen peas and spinach, the work is minimal. If you'd like to use fresh peas and spinach, you'll need to quickly blanch and drain them first. Fresh mozzarella adds a pleasant creaminess, but goat cheese or feta would work, too. Serve these over quinoa or rice, or top with a poached or fried egg for brunch.

Categories     brunch, dinner, lunch, finger foods, vegetables, appetizer, main course, side dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings (about 12 fritters)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (10-ounce) package frozen spinach, thawed
3 large eggs
1 garlic clove, minced
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1 (10-ounce) package frozen peas, thawed and very coarsely mashed
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 ounces fresh mozzarella, diced (about 1 cup)
1/3 cup chopped mixed tender herbs, such as scallions, mint, dill, cilantro and parsley, plus more for garnish
1 lemon, zested, then cut into wedges for serving
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup olive oil, for frying, plus more as needed
Greek yogurt or sour cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Squeeze the excess water out of the spinach and set aside. (You should have about 1 cup of prepped spinach.) Line a plate with paper towels.
  • In a large bowl, beat together the eggs, garlic, 3/4 teaspoon salt and the red-pepper flakes. Fold in the peas and reserved spinach, being sure to break up the spinach to help it distribute evenly. Add the flour, cheese, herbs, lemon zest and baking powder, and fold to combine evenly.
  • In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1/4 cup oil over medium-high. Add 4 (1/4-cup) scoops of the fritter mixture into the hot oil and press them down into 1/4-inch-thick patties. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to the prepared plate to drain; season with salt.
  • Repeat with the remaining vegetable mixture and oil as necessary. Garnish fritters with additional herbs and serve with yogurt.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender peas and spinach. This will ensure the best flavor and texture for your mash.
  • Cook the peas and spinach separately. This will help to prevent the spinach from overcooking and losing its vibrant green color.
  • Use a potato ricer to mash the potatoes. This will give you a smooth, lump-free mash.
  • Season the mash with salt, pepper, and butter. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Serve the mash immediately. This is when it will be at its best flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

Pea spinach mash is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of main courses. It is also a good source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Whether you are looking for a healthy or a comforting dish, pea spinach mash is sure to please.
