Peas

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Peas

    In a slow cooker, add the green peas and cover with water. Cook on low for about 4 hours until the peas are tender.

  2. 2

    Season the Peas

    Once cooked, drain any excess water from the peas. Add the sea salt and black pepper to the peas, and use a fork or potato masher to gently smash them to your desired consistency.

  3. 3

    Add Mint and Butter

    Finely chop the fresh mint leaves and fold them into the smashed peas along with the whipped butter. Stir well until everything is combined.
