Pea Puree Recipe Jamie Oliver

PEA PUREE

Steps:

• To make the Pea Puree, combine the peas, mint, garlic, salt, and pepper in a food processor and puree. With the machine running, add the olive oil in a steady drizzle.
• Transfer the pea puree to a small bowl and stir in the Parmesan.

PEA PUREE

Steps:

• Fill a pan with cold water and throw in the clove of garlic. Bring to the boil and then add salt and the peas. Cook until tender, drain, and put into a food processor, or blender, and add the creme fraiche, cheese, and dried mint. Puree the peas until knobbly and check the seasoning, adding salt if you need to. Tip the pureed peas into a bowl (or back in the pan is probably a better idea) and cover to keep them warm.

MINTY MUSHY PEAS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a pan and add the chopped onions, mint, and peas. Cover and leave for a few minutes to steam. Mash with a potato masher. You can do this with a food processor as well, just pulse it until smooth. Whether mashing or pulsing, when it's done add the butter and season very carefully, to taste.

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.
