By quickly cooking the vegetables, they retain their colour and natural taste.

Ingredients

  • 400 g fresh or frozen peas
  • 20 g fresh mint leaves
  • 1

Method

Bring a large pan of boiling salted water to the boil. Add the peas, mint leaves, onion and leek and simmer gently for about 5-6 minutes until tender. Drain them in a colander, then refresh under cold running water. When they are fully drained, transfer to a food processor and blend to a smooth puree, scraping down the sides once or twice to ensure all the puree is satiny smooth.
