Description
Sweet, creamy, buttery mushy peas make any meal (or fish and chips) even better. These peas are so delicious that the first time I made them, we immediately made them again for dinner the same night, and then two days later we had them again after we went back to the store to buy frozen peas because we were out of the fresh ones. This is the easiest and best-tasting mushy pea recipe (non-recipe) I’ve ever eaten and it remains a staple on our lunch and dinner table.
Ingredients
- one 10 ounce package of frozen sweet peas (or fresh) (285g)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (14g)
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream (30g)
- salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the peas. Add frozen or fresh peas to lightly salted boiling water over high heat and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until bright green and tender. Strain the peas and place them into the bowl of a food processor or blender. *You may reserve a handful of whole peas to use as garnish.
- Make the mushy peas. To the peas, add the butter and heavy cream and process or blend until the peas are creamy, slightly thick with some small pieces of peas left intact. Add salt and pepper to taste. If you need to thin it out simply drizzle a small amount of heavy cream until desired consistency is reached, top with whole reserved whole peas (if using), and serve immediately, Enjoy!
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen sweet peas in this recipe. They both taste great.
