Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Frozen green peas
- 100 grams Mascarpone cheese
- 30 grams Butter
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat.
Add the frozen peas to the boiling water and cook for 3-4 minutes until tender but still bright green.
Drain the peas and quickly rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Pat them dry with a towel.
In a food processor or blender, combine the cooked peas, mascarpone cheese, butter, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as necessary. If you prefer a chunkier texture, pulse the blender until just combined.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary by adding more salt or pepper.
Transfer the mashed peas to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
Serve immediately as a side dish for your favorite keto-friendly meal.
