Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh or frozen peas
- 60 ml Coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons Ghee
- 10 grams Fresh mint leaves
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
If using frozen peas, start by defrosting them. If using fresh peas, ensure they are shelled.
Step 2
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the peas and cook until tender, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 3
Drain the peas and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them sit for a few minutes, then drain again.
Step 4
In a food processor, add the drained peas, coconut cream, ghee, fresh mint leaves, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Pulse the food processor until the mixture reaches your desired level of creaminess. You can keep it slightly chunky for more texture or blend it until completely smooth.
Step 6
Taste the mashed peas and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Step 7
Transfer the creamy mashed peas to a serving bowl. Serve immediately as a delicious side dish or as a base for other meals.
