Green pea puree

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make mashed green peas? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Peas can be used fresh or frozen. If the peas are frozen, it is not necessary to defrost them specially. You can take cream with a fat content from 10 to 20%

2. Step 2:

   

   Rinse the green peas and put them in a colander. Let the water drain.

3. Step 3:

   

   Peel the garlic cloves. If the teeth are large, you can cut them in half.

4. Step 4:

   

   Pour about 1.5 liters of water into a saucepan and put it on high heat. Bring the water to a boil. Pour the green peas into boiling water, add salt and garlic cloves.

5. Step 5:

   

   Reduce the heat to medium, bring the water to a boil again and cook the peas until tender for about 5-7 minutes, removing the foam. Frozen peas may have to cook a little longer for 1-2 minutes.

7. Step 6:

   

   Flip the finished peas with garlic into a colander, let all the water drain and dry. If desired, you can remove garlic cloves from the peas.

8. Step 7:

   

   Pour the boiled peas back into the pan and mash into a puree using a masher or whisk with a blender. The consistency of the puree may be to taste. It can be a homogeneous well-beaten puree, or a mass with small pieces of peas. I prefer a less homogeneous and thick consistency, so I did not beat for long.

9. Step 8:

   

   Taste the puree and add salt if necessary. Add the butter, pour in the cream.

10. Step 9:

    

    Mix everything thoroughly. With the help of cream, you can also adjust the consistency of the puree. If the puree is too thick, add more cream.

11. Step 10:

    

    Ready-made puree can be served as a side dish to meat, poultry or fish. The taste of this puree is wonderful. Bon appetit!
