Method

  • step 1

    Melt the butter in a small saucepan over a medium heat and sizzle the shallot for 5 mins until soft. Add the stock and peas, and bring to a simmer. Cook gently for 10 mins until the peas are soft.

  • step 2

    Roughly mash the pea mixture with a potato masher, or, if you prefer a smoother texture, purée with a hand blender. (It’s best to leave some of the peas whole or roughly crushed for texture.) Season to taste and stir through the mint leaves just before serving.

I have made these several times and they are such a welcome alternative to the grey mushy peas you get from chip shops. I add a bag of chopped spinach to make them even healthier.

First time trying this and no measurements at all! This was going with a slow cooked lamb that you suddenly changed the weight from 1.3 to1kg to! Why?

My friend said this was the best peas she ever had. They were delicious I must say.

Really great recipe, works a treat. I’ve tried to make pea purée before but it was too liquid. This works very well with frozen garden peas!

Made a handful of times and always really tasty. We like ours not very mushy so it often takes longer than the 10 minutes to reduce the liquid enough but it's worth it.
