Time Preparation:
15 minutes
Ingredients
- 3 cups frozen or shelled peas or 4 cups packed whole snap peas
- 1 cup stock or water
- 3 tablespoons toasted pine nuts or walnuts
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan
- 1 clove minced garlic
- 1 handful of fresh mint or more to taste
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or more as needed
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Preparation
Place peas in a saucepan with just enough stock or water to come half way up their height. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until peas are bright green and tender. Put peas and liquid in a food processor or blender and start to purée. When purée is relatively smooth add nuts, cheese, garlic, mint, olive oil, salt and pepper. Puree more; taste and adjust seasoning, then thin with more liquid or oil as desired. Recipe compliments of Chef Karen Gill of Karen Cooks It.
