🥘 Ingredients

9 items

• 500 grams frozen peas
• 100 ml coconut cream
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic
• 10 grams fresh mint leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. Bring a medium-sized pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat.

2. Add the frozen peas to the boiling water and cook for 3-4 minutes or until tender.

3. Drain the peas in a colander and transfer them to a food processor.

4. Add the coconut cream, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, olive oil, and peeled garlic cloves to the food processor.

5. Add the fresh mint leaves, salt, and black pepper to the processor as well.

6. Pulse the mixture until it reaches your desired level of creaminess. For a chunkier texture, pulse just a few times; for a smoother mash, process further.

7. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt or lemon juice to suit your taste.

8. Transfer the pea mash to a serving bowl and drizzle with a little extra olive oil if desired. Serve immediately as a side dish or atop your favorite vegan bread.
