How To Make Mushy Peas Recipe?
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients before starting.
- Cook Peas: Bring a shallow pot of lightly salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the frozen peas and cook for 3 minutes or until tender.
- Blend Peas: Drain the peas and transfer them to a blender or large food processor. Add the cream, butter, salt, and pepper, then blend until smooth but still thick with small pieces of peas.
- Adjust Seasonings: Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
- Serve: Serve the peas immediately, while warm.
Recipe Tips:
- Use Fresh Peas: If you prefer a fresher taste, try using fresh peas. Just cook them a little longer than frozen peas.
- Adjust Texture: If you want smoother peas, blend them longer, but don’t make them too thin.
- Taste and Season: Before serving, taste and adjust salt and pepper to your liking.
- Try Flavor Variations: You can add mint, lemon zest, or garlic to give a different twist.
- Don’t Overcook: Cook the peas just for 3 minutes so they stay tender, but not too soft.
How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: Cool the leftover Mushy Peas to room temperature and then store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- Freeze: store them in an airtight container for up to 1 month.
- On The Stove: Reheat the peas in a pan over low heat, stirring occasionally. Add a little water or cream to thin them out if needed.
