Pea Spinach Mash Recipes

Steps:

• Cook shallots and garlic in oil and butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until soft, about 6 minutes.
• Stir in peas and water and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until peas are tender, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in spinach, salt, and pepper and cook, tossing, until spinach is just wilted, about 1 minute.

Steps:

• Place the peas and broad beans in a microwave-safe together with water, cover and cook in a microwave on MAX for 15 minutes or until tender. Remove and strain.
• Briefly sauté garlic in hot olive oil, add spinach, season with salt and cover. Cook for 2-3 minutes until spinach is wilted.
• Add peas and broad beans, stir and cook until all the liquid has evaporated.
• Mash the vegetable with a hand blender to desired consistency. Season with black pepper. Serve as a side dish to meat instead of mashed potatoes.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large frying pan, cook the lamb until browned all over for about 10 mins, then remove from the pan. Cook the onion in the same pan until golden brown, about 5 mins. Stir through the ginger, garlic, cumin and coriander, then cook for 2 mins more until you smell the spices. Return the lamb to the pan, pour over the tomatoes, bring to the boil, then leave to simmer over a gentle heat for 11⁄2 hrs until the meat is really tender. Top up with a little boiling water if the sauce becomes too dry. Add in the chickpeas and garam masala, then simmer for 5 mins more. Stir through spinach and cook until wilted slightly then season to taste.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pan of lightly salted water to the boil and cook the potatoes until softened, about 15 mins. Drain and mash. Stir through the curry paste and yogurt, and serve alongside the curry.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Cook peas in a small pot of boiling salted water 1 minute. Drain; transfer to a food processor. Add 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest, 1 tablespoon juice, 1 tablespoon cheese, and 2 tablespoons oil. Season with salt and pepper; process until texture is similar to hummus. Add cilantro and 1 packed cup spinach; puree.
• Pat chicken dry; season with salt and pepper. Stir together remaining 2 tablespoons cheese and 1/2 teaspoon zest. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add chicken, skin-side down; cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Spoon off fat and discard. Flip chicken and sprinkle with cheese mixture. Transfer to oven; roast until cooked through, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toss remaining 3 cups spinach with remaining 1 teaspoon lemon juice and 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Serve chicken with puree, spinach, and lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Squeeze the excess water out of the spinach and set aside. (You should have about 1 cup of prepped spinach.) Line a plate with paper towels.
• In a large bowl, beat together the eggs, garlic, 3/4 teaspoon salt and the red-pepper flakes. Fold in the peas and reserved spinach, being sure to break up the spinach to help it distribute evenly. Add the flour, cheese, herbs, lemon zest and baking powder, and fold to combine evenly.
• In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1/4 cup oil over medium-high. Add 4 (1/4-cup) scoops of the fritter mixture into the hot oil and press them down into 1/4-inch-thick patties. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to the prepared plate to drain; season with salt.
• Repeat with the remaining vegetable mixture and oil as necessary. Garnish fritters with additional herbs and serve with yogurt.

Steps:

• Heat 3 T olive oil in large pot over medium heat. Add peas, spinach, and salt. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until spinach is wilted and peas are partially tender (about 4 minutes). Add .5 c of water, cover and simmer over medium-high heat until completely tender and water has mostly evaporated, about 2 minutes. Mash with potato masher. Season with pepper.
