EXCELLENT PEAS/SPINACH/MINT SIDE DISH



Excellent Peas/Spinach/Mint Side Dish image

In the test kitchen, and looking for something to mess about with... had some frozen peas, and spinach, plus some mint from my garden... What could go wrong. If you're looking for a different side dish than the obligatory mashed potatoes, and you like peas, then you may be a candidate for this dish. It's extremely easy to make, and tastes great. This dish will pair well with fish, chicken, or even beef. So, you ready... Let's get into the kitchen.

Categories     Vegetables

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 ounce(s) peas, frozen variety
4 ounce(s) spinach frozen variety
2 to 3 tablespoon(s) fresh mint leaves
3 tablespoon(s) sweet butter, salted variety
3 tablespoon(s) heavy cream
- salt, kosher variety, to taste
- black pepper, freshly ground, to taste
1 or 2 pinch(es) cayenne (for kick)

Steps:

  • Gather your ingredients.
  • Combine the peas, spinach, and mint in a large saucepan, and bring to the boil, cover and allow the ingredients to boil for 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Chef's Tip: The peas should be nice and soft.
  • Chef's Note: Believe it or not, frozen peas and spinach work better in this recipe than fresh. The freezing process breaks down cell walls and intensifies the flavors.
  • Strain the ingredients through a sieve to remove all the water, and then place the ingredients, along with the butter and cream into the bowl of a food processor, fitted with an S-blade.
  • Season with the salt, pepper, and cayenne, to taste.
  • Blend until all the ingredients are fully pureed.
  • Chef's Note: Now, what could we add to this side dish? How about a bit of onion, garlic, cumin... add whatever you want, but don't add so much that you lose the flavor of those nice peas.
  • Serve as a side dish with fish, chicken, or beef. Enjoy.
  • Keep the faith, and keep cooking. P.S. I think that this is the shortest recipe that I've ever posted on JAP.

EXCELLENT POTATO/VEGETABLE SIDE DISH



Excellent Potato/Vegetable Side Dish image

Recipe came from Better Homes and Gardens magazine. It really is excellent. It makes quite a bit but can be easily adjusted. I have made it for large gatherings and small family dinners. It is very good at room temperature so it's great for potlucks or BBQs too. The recipe calls for rosemary but any of your favorite herb(s) would do (fresh is always better but I've often used dried). Hope you like!
