Pea Spinach And Broad Beans Mash Recipes

PEA-SPINACH MASH

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add peas, spinach, and salt. Cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until spinach is wilted and peas are partially tender, about 4 minutes. Add 1/2 cup water, cover, and simmer over medium-high heat until completely tender and water has mostly evaporated, about 2 minutes. Mash with a potato masher. Season with pepper.

PEA, SPINACH AND BROAD BEANS MASH

Steps:

• Place the peas and broad beans in a microwave-safe together with water, cover and cook in a microwave on MAX for 15 minutes or until tender. Remove and strain.
• Briefly sauté garlic in hot olive oil, add spinach, season with salt and cover. Cook for 2-3 minutes until spinach is wilted.
• Add peas and broad beans, stir and cook until all the liquid has evaporated.
• Mash the vegetable with a hand blender to desired consistency. Season with black pepper. Serve as a side dish to meat instead of mashed potatoes.

SPINACH AND PEAS

Steps:

• Prepare an ice water bath; set aside. Line a baking sheet with a cooling rack; set aside.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a generous amount of salt and the peas. Cook until bright green, 3 to 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to ice water bath to stop the peas from cooking. Drain, shaking off excess liquid; set aside. Add the spinach to the boiling water and cook, just until wilted, about 1 minute. Drain, squeezing out excess moisture, and transfer to wire rack to dry.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring frequently, until translucent, but not brown, about 2 minutes. Stir in peas, and cook 1 minute. Add the spinach, tossing to combine, and heat through, 1 to 2 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

PEAS WITH SPINACH AND SHALLOTS

Steps:

• Cook shallots and garlic in oil and butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until soft, about 6 minutes.
• Stir in peas and water and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until peas are tender, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in spinach, salt, and pepper and cook, tossing, until spinach is just wilted, about 1 minute.

SPINACH AND PEA FRITTERS

Steps:

• Squeeze the excess water out of the spinach and set aside. (You should have about 1 cup of prepped spinach.) Line a plate with paper towels.
• In a large bowl, beat together the eggs, garlic, 3/4 teaspoon salt and the red-pepper flakes. Fold in the peas and reserved spinach, being sure to break up the spinach to help it distribute evenly. Add the flour, cheese, herbs, lemon zest and baking powder, and fold to combine evenly.
• In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1/4 cup oil over medium-high. Add 4 (1/4-cup) scoops of the fritter mixture into the hot oil and press them down into 1/4-inch-thick patties. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to the prepared plate to drain; season with salt.
• Repeat with the remaining vegetable mixture and oil as necessary. Garnish fritters with additional herbs and serve with yogurt.
