- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 1 onion, small and finely chopped (or shallot)
- 1/2 cup of broth, vegetable
- salt and pepper, to taste
- leaves of mint, chopped for garnish
Instructions
Cook the Peas Cook the frozen peas according to the package instructions. Usually, this involves boiling them for a few minutes. Drain and set aside.
Sauté Onion In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until it becomes soft and translucent.
Add Peas Add the cooked peas to the saucepan with the sautéed onions
Mash the Peas Using a potato masher or the back of a fork, gently mash the peas to your desired consistency. If you prefer a smoother texture, you can use a blender or food processor.
Add Vegetable Broth Pour in the vegetable broth, and stir the peas. Allow them to simmer for a few minutes.
Season Season with salt and black pepper to taste. If you like a hint of sweetness, you can add a teaspoon of sugar, but this is optional.
Garnish Garnish the mushy peas with chopped fresh mint leaves for a burst of freshness.
