Steps

1

Defrost the peas - I did this by covering them in water and heating in the microwave for 2 mins. Drain.
2

Meanwhile, chop the shallots as small as possible and start to heat in a frying pan with the olive oil. Crush the garlic and add to the pan.
3

Move the peas to a large bowl and blitz with a blender. I put a tea towel over the top to prevent peas going everywhere! You want the peas to be crushed but not puréed.
4

Chop the mint leaves as small as possible and add to the crushed peas. Season with salt and pepper and stir.
5

Add the pea mixture to the softened shallots. Add the butter and stir. Add more pepper to taste.
6

Heat through in the pan and serve! I served this with pesto crusted cod (see separate recipe) and homemade chips!
