Ingredients

The following ingredients have 9 Servings
  • 6 cups shelled peas (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 4 Tbs. (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 6 Tbs. loosely packed chopped fresh mint
  • 2 tsp. salt

Instruction

  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the peas and water. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the peas are tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the butter and stir until melted.
  • Transfer the peas to a food processor, add the mint and salt and process for 30 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and process until the puree is smooth, about 1 minute more.
  • Working in batches, pass a small amount of the puree through a medium-mesh sieve set over a heatproof bowl, pressing with a rubber spatula.
  • Set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water and heat, stirring occasionally, until the puree is hot. Serve immediately. Serves 8 to 10.
