Enjoy a fresher, seasonal version of mushy peas. If you prefer them very soft, you can purée them. They make an ideal side dish to homemade fish and chips

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 5

25g butter
1 shallot, peeled and roughly chopped
200ml vegetable or chicken stock
400g frozen peas
small handful of mint leaves, chopped

Steps:

  • 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.
  • 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.
