Ingredients Needed:

• 10 g butter
• 1 tsp olive oil extra virgin, mild-flavored
• 3 shallots, or 1 red onion finely chopped
• 500 g frozen baby peas defrosted
• 500 ml chicken or vegetable stock (2 cups) or water
• 40 g butter add 10g more if desired
• 1/4 tsp sea salt

How To Make Pea Puree Recipe?

1. Cook the Shallots: Heat 10g butter and 5ml olive oil in a saucepan. Add the chopped shallots and cook on medium heat until they soften, about 8-10 minutes, without browning.
2. Add Stock and Peas: Pour in 500ml stock, bring to a boil, then add the peas. Blanch for 3 minutes.
3. Strain and Blend: Remove from heat and strain the liquid into a jug. Blend the peas and shallots in a food processor, adding some of the liquid to make a smooth purée. Season to taste.
4. Optional Silky Texture: For a smoother texture, press the purée through a fine sieve.

Recipe Tips:

• Don’t Overcook the Shallots: Cook the shallots until they’re soft, but don’t let them brown. This keeps the purée smooth and sweet, not bitter.
• Use Fresh Peas for a Better Taste: If you have fresh peas available, use them instead of frozen for a more vibrant flavor.
• Adjust the Consistency: If the purée is too thick, add more of the reserved liquid to get your desired smoothness.
• Strain for a Silky Texture: For a super smooth texture, press the purée through a fine sieve to remove any bits.
• Make It Ahead: The purée can be made in advance and stored in the fridge. Just reheat gently when ready to serve.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Let the leftover pea purée cool down to room temperature before putting it in the fridge. It will last for 2-3 days.
• Freeze: After cooling, freeze the purée in a freezer-safe container for up to 1 month.
• Reheat: Warm the purée in a pan over low heat, stirring until hot. Add some reserved liquid if needed.
