Pea and Mint Purée

Pea and Mint Purée

This is a versatile dish that’s tasty and simple.

Ingredients

Directions

Start by reducing a bit of white wine in a pan, then add your peas (frozen peas are fine here as well). Just cook them lightly (only a couple of minutes) so that the color and taste is maintained.

Next, put your peas in a food processor with mint leaves, lemon, a small knob of butter, salt, and pepper, then blend. Add a touch of cream and continue to blend until the purée is smooth. You’ll also want to add just enough butter and cream (not a lot) to add texture and flavor, but it shouldn’t feel heavy in any way. So it’s best to add a little at a time, then taste. You’ll also want to balance the fat from the butter and cream with the lemon.

When the purée has reached the right consistency, serve and enjoy.
