Irresistible Mushy Peas

A vibrant green mash of peas, spinach, butter and onion with a splash of sherry vinegar. The recipe that turned this pea hater into a pea lover!
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes
Servings 2 as a side

Ingredients

  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 bag baby spinach 5 oz / 150g
  • 9 oz frozen peas 250g, defrosted
  • 1/2 teaspoon stock powder optional
  • 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar

Instructions

  1. Place the onion and butter in a medium saucepan and cook, covered, over medium heat until the onion is soft but not browned. It will take about 10 minutes. Stir a few times.

  2. When the onion is soft, add the baby spinach and peas and cook, stirring, for the few minutes it takes for the spinach to just wilt and the peas to warm through.

  3. Remove from the heat and puree to a rough mash using a stick blender (or transfer to a food processor).

  4. Add the stock powder (if using) and vinegar. Stir well. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
