Easy Smashed Minted Peas
Easy minted peas with just three ingredients – served hot or cold, the perfect accompaniment to lamb, fish and any summer supper.
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 150 g frozen peas - 1½ cups
- sprig of fresh mint - stalk discarded and leaves chopped
- 1 tbsp butter
Optional
- squeeze of fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Heat a pan of water and simmer the peas for 4 minutes. Alternatively, cook the peas in a bowl in the microwave, covered with a little boiling water.
- Drain and return to the pan. Add the butter.
- Smash the peas with a potato masher, or briefly pulse with a stick blender or in a mini chopper or food processor. You want to retain some texture, rather than make a smooth puree.
- Stir through the mint leaves, season with sea salt and pepper to taste. Add a squeeze of lemon when serving with fish or lamb.
