Ingredients

  • 1 clove garlic (small) minced
  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup green peas (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 tsp lemon or lime zest grated
  • 1/2 lime/lemon juice only, or to taste (use less if using lemon)
  • 1/4 cup water
  • sea salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Combine garlic, parsley, olive oil, salt, and water in a small saucepan. Add peas and cook over medium heat, until peas are tender. This will take about 5 minutes for fresh peas or about 2 minutes for frozen. Stir occasionally. When ready, drain, reserving cooking liquid.
  • Transfer pea mixture to a food processor and pulse until coarse paste forms. Transfer to a medium bowl and stir in lemon zest, lemon juice, and black pepper. Stir in the reserved cooking liquid by tablespoonfuls until mixture is still thick but spreadable.
  • Season pea mash with salt, black pepper, and more lemon juice, if desired.
