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
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

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.
