Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Baby potatoes (or small waxy potatoes)
- 200 grams Frozen green peas
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 120 milliliters Water
Instructions
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them in half (or quarters if they are larger).
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30-60 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Sprinkle the smoked paprika and cumin powder over the garlic and stir to release their aromas, about 20 seconds.
Add the baby potatoes to the pan, tossing to coat them evenly with the spices and garlic.
Pour in the water, cover the pan with a lid, and let the potatoes steam over medium heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
After 15 minutes, check that the potatoes are tender by piercing with a fork. If not, cook for an additional 5 minutes, adding a splash more water if needed.
Once the potatoes are cooked, add the frozen peas directly to the pan. Stir well and let them cook for 3-5 minutes until heated through.
Season with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve warm as a side dish or a light main.
