Ingredients

  • 1 clove garlic
  • Salt
  • 5 ounces frozen peas
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons creme fraiche
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan or pecorino
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried mint
  • Special equipment: Food processor

Directions

Fill a pan with cold water and throw in the clove of garlic. Bring to the boil and then add salt and the peas. Cook until tender, drain, and put into a food processor, or blender, and add the creme fraiche, cheese, and dried mint. Puree the peas until knobbly and check the seasoning, adding salt if you need to. Tip the pureed peas into a bowl (or back in the pan is probably a better idea) and cover to keep them warm.

    Didn't like the flavor

    I don't know why I didn't like this because I love peas and I've had mushy peas in the UK before that i loved. Maybe it's... because I left out the creme fraiche?Read more

    Very Tasty

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    These are just like the peas I had in the UK. Very fun way to use up peas, and the mint gave it a nice fresh flavor.
