Ingredients
280g frozen peas
60ml heavy cream
14g butter
2.5g salt
2.5g pepper
Optional: lemon zest, mint, garlic
Instructions
- In a small pot, bring lightly salted water to a boil. Add the peas and boil for 3 minutes. Be sure to keep an eye on them to avoid boiling over.
- Drain the peas and toss them into a blender or food processor. Add the cream, butter, salt, pepper, and any optional ingredients like lemon zest, mint, or garlic for extra flavor.
- Pulse the mixture until it’s mostly smooth, but still a little chunky. You don’t want it to be fully pureed—you want texture.
- Taste the peas and adjust seasoning with more salt, lemon, or mint if desired. Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
For a minty twist, add fresh mint and a zest of lemon.
Roasted garlic can provide a savory depth of flavor.
Cheese lovers can add grated Parmesan or cheddar for a cheesy version.
If you like heat, a pinch of chili flakes or a dash of hot sauce can spice it up.
