Tips & tricks

Do not brown the garlic before adding the peas. Gently cooked garlic gives rounded flavor, while browned garlic can quickly taste bitter in a mild purée.

Did you know?

Pea purée with garlic gets more depth than a plain pea purée because the garlic is gently cooked in butter before the peas are added. Short boiling preserves the green color and mild sweetness of the peas. Butter gives a rounded texture and makes the purée well suited to fish, chicken and meat.
