Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams fresh peas
- 250 grams frozen peas
- 30 grams butter
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves
Instructions
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt.
Add the fresh peas to the boiling water and blanch for 2-3 minutes, or until tender but still bright green.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fresh peas to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process and preserve their color. Drain and set aside.
Add the frozen peas to the same pot of boiling water and cook for 2-3 minutes, then drain and set aside.
In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the garlic clove (minced) until fragrant, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
In a food processor, combine the fresh peas, frozen peas, sautéed garlic with the melted butter, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and fresh mint leaves.
Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
Serve the Double Pea Mash warm as a side dish, or allow it to cool and use it as a dip or spread.
