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.

    This was better than expected. I made it for 4 servings rather than 1 and served it with a pan sauteed flounder. It was excellent and will make again and again. Boring peas turn gourmet!

    Last night I was tired and hungry and wanted some veg, since I'd eaten munchies on the road the last couple of days, and remembered watching Nigella make this pea puree, so I looked it up, had everything called for (I had to sub out sour cream for the creme fraiche, and it was good. The clove of garlic I used was huge, and I didn't read the recipe carefully enough before I started, so it got added with the peas, so it didn't get cooked enough, and the dish was a little garlick-y, but not bad.
    It was finished in less than 10 minutes, and satisfied my need for green food!
