ChefSteps' Green Pea Mash

20 minutes

Side Dish

0 of 1

This simple side dish lends a gorgeous splash of color and a delicious, buttery texture to just about any protein-centered dinner. To prepare it, we simply cook the peas in water, mix with a not-small amount of butter, then mash and perk them up with lemon juice. Flat-leaf parsley and fresh tarragon add elegance and depth of flavor, while chives provide a sharp bite and a gorgeous, dark-green contrast to the bright, verdant peas. It all adds up to something much tastier than you might imagine and delicate enough to pair with a lightly seasoned filet of fish cooked sous vide, or even something as rich as fish and chips.

Steps

1 Cook peas:
Combine frozen peas, pinch of salt, and water in a pot and, stirring occasionally, cook over medium-high heat until peas become tender.
Remove from heat, strain, and add butter. Stir to combine.
2 Mash:
Gently mash the peas with an immersion blender.
Add lemon juice and black pepper to taste. Mix in olive oil a little at a time until peas reach desired texture. We like ours a little chunky.
HOME-COOK HACK: Don’t have an immersion blender? A fork will work great.
3 Season; serve:
Fold in chopped parsley, tarragon, and chives.
Serve immediately or reserve until needed.
