Auntie Fannys Pea And Mint Mash Recipes

Steps:

• Blitz all the ingredients together in a food processor so there is still a little texture to the dip, about 15 seconds, or longer if you prefer a smoother dip. (Alternatively, place the ingredients in a bowl and mash with a potato masher.)
• Spoon the dip into a serving bowl. Serve with potato chips.

Steps:

Steps:

• Melt butter in a saucepan and gently saute the onion until it is soft but not brown.
• Remove the onion mixture from the heat and mix in the milk, stock, peas, 2-3 mint sprigs, sugar, salt and pepper. Bring to the boil, Stirring regularly (if using frozen peas add them now, straight from frozen, no need to thaw them first).
• Simmer, covered for about 30 minutes or until the peas are really tender. Let it cool just a little bit, then purée the mixture using a food processor , blender or by rubbing though a fine sieve.
• Add fresh cream to the purée, mix well and then chill for 2 hours.

Steps:

• Pour the broth into a medium saucepan and heat until boiling.
• In a separate, large saucepan on medium heat, add 2 T. of olive oil.
• Add the prepped carrots, celery, onions and garlic and mix together. Put a lid on, slightly off center so some steam can escape. Cook this for about 10 minutes, until the carrots are tender but still holding their shape and the onions are golden.
• Add the boiling broth to the veggies.
• Add the peas.
• Stir and bring to a boil.
• Once boiling, bring the soup to a simmer. Simmer for about 10 minutes, until peas are softened.
• Take the pan off the heat and season with salt and pepper and add some mint leaves. *Jamie says to use a small bunch. I think this is a matter of personal taste, in terms of how much mint flavor you like to shine through. Start out small and increase until your taste buds are pleased! I added about half a bunch of chopped mint and thought it was enough for my tastes.
• Using an immersion blender (or blender), blend the soup until smooth. (If you are using a regular blender, do it in batches so the hot soup won't come out the top of your blender).
• Optional:.
• If you are using ham, chop it up into bite-size pieces and stir it into the blended soup.
• Heat the soup through before serving OR let it cool, store it in your fridge and eat it cold anytime you'd like!
