Ingredients

6 servings

For 6 servings

1 kg (2 lb) frozen peas
125 g (8 tbsp) butter, unsalted
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 eschalots, medium, finely sliced
2 cups chicken or vegetable stock/broth, low sodium; use vegetable stock if serving the puree with fish
¼ tsp salt
⅛ tsp white pepper

Mint option

1 handful mint leaves, small; optional

Equipment

Saucepan
Food processor
Mesh colander
Rubber spatula

Instructions

Step 1: Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and eschalots and sauté for 3 minutes, until soft but not golden.
Step 2: Add the frozen peas and stock. Increase the heat to bring the liquid to a simmer, then cover and reduce the heat to medium. Simmer for 2 minutes.
Step 3: Remove 1/3 cup of liquid from the saucepan and reserve it.
Step 4: Transfer all the peas and the remaining liquid to a food processor. Add the salt, pepper and mint, if using. Blitz on high for 1 minute, until smooth.
Step 5: For an extra-smooth puree, press it through a mesh colander with a rubber spatula.
Tip: This step is optional.
Step 6: Use the reserved liquid as needed to reach your preferred consistency, from soft and dollopable to looser. Add more salt and pepper if desired, keeping the seasoning subtle.
Step 7: Serve warm, either spooned or spread onto plates or in bowls for everyone to help themselves.

Notes

Use vegetable stock if serving the puree with fish. For a mint variation, add finely chopped mint to the puree.

About this recipe

Sweet, subtle pea puree makes a colourful side dish and a smooth sauce. Sautéing garlic and eschalots in butter before simmering the peas gives the puree a richer flavour.
