Description

A quick and creamy side dish , featuring frozen peas, heavy cream, butter, and seasoning, with options for extra flavor twists.


Ingredients

280g frozen peas

60ml heavy cream

14g butter

2.5g salt

2.5g pepper

Optional: lemon zest, mint, garlic


Instructions

  1. In a small pot, bring lightly salted water to a boil. Add the peas and boil for 3 minutes. Be sure to keep an eye on them to avoid boiling over.
  2. Drain the peas and toss them into a blender or food processor. Add the cream, butter, salt, pepper, and any optional ingredients like lemon zest, mint, or garlic for extra flavor.
  3. Pulse the mixture until it’s mostly smooth, but still a little chunky. You don’t want it to be fully pureed—you want texture.
  4. Taste the peas and adjust seasoning with more salt, lemon, or mint if desired. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

For a minty twist, add fresh mint and a zest of lemon.

Roasted garlic can provide a savory depth of flavor.

Cheese lovers can add grated Parmesan or cheddar for a cheesy version.

If you like heat, a pinch of chili flakes or a dash of hot sauce can spice it up.
