Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Frozen green peas
- 120 milliliters Heavy cream
- 30 grams Unsalted butter
- 10 grams Fresh mint leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
Instructions
Bring a pot of salted water to boil over high heat.
Add the frozen green peas to the boiling water and cook for 3-4 minutes until tender but still vibrant green.
Drain the peas and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process and preserve their color. Leave them in the ice water for about 1-2 minutes, then drain again thoroughly.
In a blender or food processor, combine the blanched peas, heavy cream, unsalted butter, fresh mint leaves, salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder.
Blend the ingredients until you have a smooth puree. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. You can add more salt or pepper to suit your taste.
Serve the creamy pea mash warm as a side dish with your favorite main course.
