Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Frozen green peas
- 30 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 60 milliliters Heavy cream
- 10 grams Fresh mint leaves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
Add the frozen green peas to the boiling water and cook for 5-6 minutes or until tender.
While the peas are cooking, mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh mint leaves finely.
Drain the peas well and transfer them to a food processor.
Add the unsalted butter, minced garlic, heavy cream, chopped mint, salt, and black pepper to the food processor.
Pulse the mixture until smooth and creamy. If the pea mash is too thick, you can add a little more cream or water until the desired consistency is achieved.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Serve warm as a side dish or cool it down to use as a dip.
