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
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.
Drain the peas and empty into a processor or blender. Add the cream, butter, salt and pepper. Blend until puréed.
Turn into a serving dish, garnish with fresh mint and serve.
