Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 bunch spring onions, chopped
1 handful fresh mint, leaves picked
1 pound (500 grams) frozen peas
2 large knobs butter
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Heat the oil in a pan and add the chopped onions, mint, and peas. Cover and leave for a few minutes to steam. Mash with a potato masher. You can do this with a food processor as well, just pulse it until smooth. Whether mashing or pulsing, when it's done add the butter and season very carefully, to taste.

Traditional English, only better
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Guess the other two reviewers missed watching the episode where Jamie mentions this is a traditional English sidedish...thus... he did not make up the name...and at least it is not spotted "dog", lol. Is also good without being mashed if, like me, you are not fond of how the English mash their peas before they eat them.Read more

surprisingly good
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Was cooking some chicken with ginger and mint, and because I rarely keep mint in stock I needed a side dish to utilize the... rest of it. Was a little skeptical about this recipe because the name does not sound too appetizing, but I love The Naked Chef's quirky recipes, so I gave it a try.. This was surprisingly delicious... I couldn't stop eating it and marveling over how good the flavors meshed together. I used shallots instead of onions. Very good and interesting side dish.Read more

Mushy goodness
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Firstly, I don't think any vegetable recipe should have the word "mushy" in it. This was a very nice veggie dish that... really came together despite my tired green onions and pathetic mint. I was a bit skeptical, but as it whirled around in the food processor and I added salt and pepper, some magic occurred. It was also helped by excellent butter. Can't wait to try this again with good ingredients...Read more
