Pea and Mint Mash

When I was growing up, my mum would always make us mint peas. And if she didn't, we would beg her to make them. This is a slight variation on a family favourite.

Ingredients
1.5kg fresh peas, shelled
60g butter, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup firmly packed fresh mint leaves
1 tbs thin cream
Pinch ground nutmeg
Salt & freshly ground black pepper
Method
1. Cook peas in a saucepan of boiling water for 7 minutes or until tender. Drain.

2. Place peas, butter and mint in the bowl of a food processor and process until smooth. Transfer to a heatproof bowl and add the cream and nutmeg. Stir until well combined. Season with salt and pepper.

Enjoy!
