Serves: 2
 
A simple vegetable purée is a nice change from rich side dishes during the holidays.
Ingredients
  • 1 16-ounce package of organic peas, thawed
  • ¼ cup fresh mint leaves, loosely packed
  • 2 tablespoons cream
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into bits
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 pinch of ground white pepper
  • sprigs of fresh mint (optional garnish)
Instructions
  1. Using a medium-sized saucepan, add the peas, ½ cup water and the mint. Cook, covered, until peas come to a boil. Turn off the heat and allow the mint to flavor the peas.
  2. Drain the peas and empty into a processor or blender. Add the cream, butter, salt and pepper. Blend until puréed.
  3. Turn into a serving dish, garnish with fresh mint and serve.
