Pea Puree With Mint And Yogurt Recipes

MINTED PEA PURéE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Add the water to a medium pot and bring to a boil. Add the peas, fresh mint, and a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the peas are tender, about 5 minutes.
• Drain the peas and mint in a colander.
• Using an immersion blender , quickly purée the peas and mint to create a smooth paste. If you don't have an immersion blender, use a food processor instead or mash the peas well with a potato masher or fork. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste.
• You can use the peas in rough purée form, but if you want a very fine, smooth purée, push the mixture through a fine sieve.
• Stir in the butter and chopped mint leaves (if using) until all the butter has melted and is incorporated into the purée.
• Serve minted pea purée warm alongside your favorite meat or fish dish.
