Ingredients
- 500 grams frozen peas
- 100 ml coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 10 grams fresh mint leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Bring a medium-sized pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Add the frozen peas to the boiling water and cook for 3-4 minutes or until tender.
Step 3
Drain the peas in a colander and transfer them to a food processor.
Step 4
Add the coconut cream, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, olive oil, and peeled garlic cloves to the food processor.
Step 5
Add the fresh mint leaves, salt, and black pepper to the processor as well.
Step 6
Pulse the mixture until it reaches your desired level of creaminess. For a chunkier texture, pulse just a few times; for a smoother mash, process further.
Step 7
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt or lemon juice to suit your taste.
Step 8
Transfer the pea mash to a serving bowl and drizzle with a little extra olive oil if desired. Serve immediately as a side dish or atop your favorite vegan bread.
