Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 small brown onion finely chopped
- 400 g frozen garden peas or petit pois
- 150 ml vegetable stock
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint
- 1 tablespoon double cream or sour cream
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a wide-based pan. Add the finely chopped onion and saute over low-medium heat for 5-6 minutes until softened.
- Add the frozen peas and stir to combine with the onion.
- Pour the hot stock over (there should be enough to just submerge the peas).
- Let the peas boil over medium-high heat until all the stock evaporates and the peas soften.
- Once cooked, roughly mash the peas with the potato masher, then stir in the fresh mint and cream. Alternatively, place the peas, mint and cream in a blender, and blitz it into a puree. Serve immediately.
