Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh or frozen peas
- 60 ml Coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons Ghee
- 10 grams Fresh mint leaves
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
If using frozen peas, start by defrosting them. If using fresh peas, ensure they are shelled.
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the peas and cook until tender, about 3-4 minutes.
Drain the peas and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them sit for a few minutes, then drain again.
In a food processor, add the drained peas, coconut cream, ghee, fresh mint leaves, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Pulse the food processor until the mixture reaches your desired level of creaminess. You can keep it slightly chunky for more texture or blend it until completely smooth.
Taste the mashed peas and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the creamy mashed peas to a serving bowl. Serve immediately as a delicious side dish or as a base for other meals.
