An easy-to-make mashed peas recipe that's super creamy and flavored with fresh mint.

- 1 onion medium chopped
- 20 gr butter for sautéing
- 200 gr heavy cream full fat
- 6 mint leaves chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- salt
- pepper
Instructions
- Put a deep pot on low to medium heat, add some butter, olive oil, and one onion, and sauté until caramelized.
- Once caramelized, add the peas and continue sautéing for another 1-2 minutes.
- Add the cream, lower the heat, season with salt and pepper, cover the pot, and let the it cook for 5 minutes until the peas soften and the cream sets.
- Remove from the heat and lightly beat in batches in the mixer. Do not aim for a completely smooth consistency.
- Pour into a plate, add the chopped mint leaves, mix with a spoon, and serve.
Notes
Chef’s tip: Avoid over-blending the peas in the mixer; we want to retain some texture with small pieces rather than achieving a completely smooth consistency.
