Ingredients
- 250 grams fresh peas
- 250 grams frozen peas
- 30 grams butter
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves
Directions
Step 1
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt.
Step 2
Add the fresh peas to the boiling water and blanch for 2-3 minutes, or until tender but still bright green.
Step 3
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fresh peas to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process and preserve their color. Drain and set aside.
Step 4
Add the frozen peas to the same pot of boiling water and cook for 2-3 minutes, then drain and set aside.
Step 5
In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the garlic clove (minced) until fragrant, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Step 6
In a food processor, combine the fresh peas, frozen peas, sautéed garlic with the melted butter, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and fresh mint leaves.
Step 7
Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
Step 8
Serve the Double Pea Mash warm as a side dish, or allow it to cool and use it as a dip or spread.
