Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Frozen or Fresh Peas
- 30 grams Butter
- 60 ml Double Cream
- 10 grams Fresh Mint Leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing the peas. If using frozen peas, rinse them under cold water to remove any frost, then drain.
In a medium-sized saucepan, add the peas and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and allow them to simmer for 5-7 minutes, until they are tender.
Drain the peas in a colander and shake off excess water.
Add the drained peas back into the saucepan. Add the butter, double cream, mint leaves, salt, and black pepper.
Use a potato masher or an immersion blender to mash the peas to your desired consistency. For a smoother texture, blend completely; for a more textured mushy pea, mash partially.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.
Transfer the mushy peas to a serving dish and serve warm, optionally garnished with additional mint leaves.
