Ingredients
- 6 cups shelled peas (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 cup water
- 4 Tbs. (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 6 Tbs. loosely packed chopped fresh mint
- 2 tsp. salt
Instructions
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the peas and water. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the peas are tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the butter and stir until melted.
- Transfer the peas to a food processor, add the mint and salt and process for 30 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and process until the puree is smooth, about 1 minute more.
- Working in batches, pass a small amount of the puree through a medium-mesh sieve set over a heatproof bowl, pressing with a rubber spatula.
- Set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water and heat, stirring occasionally, until the puree is hot. Serve immediately. Serves 8 to 10.
