🍽 Serves ⏲ Total Time
6 16 minutes

🧂 Ingredients

  • 🧈 8 Tbsp butter
  • 🧄 2 cloves garlic
  • 🧄 2 medium shallots
  • 🟢 2 lb frozen peas
  • 🥕 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 🧂 0.25 tsp salt
  • 🧂 0.13 tsp white pepper
  • 🌿 1 handful mint (optional)

🍳 Cookware

  • 1 saucepan
  • 1 mesh colander (optional)
  • 1 rubber spatula (optional)

📝 Instructions

Step 1

Aromatics: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and shallots, sauté 3 minutes until soft, but don't let them go golden.

Step 2

Cook peas: Add frozen peas and vegetable broth, increase heat to bring to simmer then cover and reduce heat to medium. Simmer 2 minutes.

Step 3

Reserve Liquid: Remove ⅓ cup liquid from the saucepan, reserve.

Step 4

Blitz: Transfer all peas and remaining liquid into a food processor. Add salt and white pepper, and mint (optional) if using. Blitz on high for 1 minute until smooth.

Step 5

Optional straining: For extra smooth, press through a mesh colander (optional) with a rubber spatula (optional) (it's easy).

Step 6

Adjust consistency: Use Reserved Liquid as needed to achieve the desired consistency – I like a soft, dolloping consistency. Sometimes people want it looser. Add more salt and pepper if desired – remember, this is not supposed to be strongly flavored or seasoned!

Step 7

Serve warm. Either dollop/smear onto plates, or serve in bowls for people to help themselves.
