Mint Peas Mashed Potatoes Food

MASHED PEAS

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a skillet, and cook and stir the frozen peas, mint leaves, and green onions until the peas are hot and tender but still bright green, 7 to 10 minutes. Pour the peas into a bowl, and mash until the peas are thoroughly crushed but still slightly chunky. Stir in the butter, brown sugar, and salt and pepper, and mix until the sugar has dissolved. Serve warm or cold.

MINTY MUSHY PEAS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a pan and add the chopped onions, mint, and peas. Cover and leave for a few minutes to steam. Mash with a potato masher. You can do this with a food processor as well, just pulse it until smooth. Whether mashing or pulsing, when it's done add the butter and season very carefully, to taste.

GLAZED PEAS AND POTATOES WITH MINT

Steps:

• Put peas in a bowl.
• Place potatoes in a pot and cover with lightly salted cold water. Bring to a boil; cook until crisp-tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain, pouring enough hot cooking liquid over peas to cover. Let peas stand 30 seconds, then drain and rinse peas under cold water.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over high heat. Add peas, potatoes, broth, and salt. Cook, stirring, until liquid reduces to a glaze, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Stir in parsley and mint.

MINT-PEAS MASHED POTATOES

LAMB CHOPS AND EARLY SPRING SALAD AND MASHED GARLIC-MINT PEAS-N-POTATOES

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a pot, cover with water, bring to a boil and cook until tender in salted water, 15 minutes.
• Preheat broiler to high.
• Arrange the chops on a slotted broiler pan and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Finely chop garlic with a handful each of the parsley and mint, then reserve. Combine salad of fennel, coarsely chopped remaining mint and parsley leaves, radishes, scallions, celery, romaine, radichio and ricotta salata, in large bowl. Combine the lemon zest, lemon juice and marmalade. Whisk in the olive oil and pour dressing over salad. Toss and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• When potatoes are just about ready, broil lamb chops 2 minutes on each side for rare, up to 4 minutes on each side for well doneness.
• Drain potatoes and transfer back to the hot pot to dry. Add peas, milk and soft cheese then mash to desired consistency. Add in reserved garlic and mint mixture and salt and pepper, to taste.
• Serve chops alongside piles of salad and potatoes.

SMASHED PEAS WITH MINT BUTTER

Steps:

• Cook peas with water and 1/2 teaspoons salt in a 5-quart heavy pot over moderate heat, covered, stirring occasionally, until heated through and tender, about 8 minutes.
• While peas cook, stir together butter, mint, parsley, pepper and remaining 3/4 teaspoons salt until combined well.
• Pulse peas (with cooking water) in 2 batches in a food processor until coarsely pureed, transferring to a large bowl. Stir in herb butter until melted.

MASHED POTATOES AND SAUTEED ONIONS WITH PEAS

Steps:

• Scrub potatoes -- do not peel -- and cover with water in pot. Cover pot, and bring to a boil, 10 to 20 minutes, depending on size.
• Meanwhile, chop onion. Heat a small nonstick saute pan until very hot; reduce heat to medium-high, and add oil. Saute onion until golden.
• Mince garlic, and add to onion.
• A minute before potatoes are cooked, add peas, and finish cooking. Drain potatoes, remove them from peas and mash them. Stir in onion mixture and buttermilk. Add peas,if desired. Season with salt and pepper.

SMASHED PEAS WITH MINT

Steps:

• Bring a large pan with about a half-inch of water in it to a simmer on the stove. When the water is simmering, toss in the frozen sweet peas and edamame. No need to thaw them first.
• Simmer them for about 5 minutes, until tender. (Yank one out of the pot and give it a nibble. You'll know when you bite into it if it's still kind of hard and raw.)
• When they're done, drain them well in a colander.
• When they're well drained, toss the little green guys into your food processor. (If you don't have a food processor, I'm reasonably sure you could do this with a potato masher and a little elbow grease.)
• Process them on high until they're smashed to bits. You may need to stop once or twice and scrape down the sides of your bowl. When they're fairly mashed up, squeeze in the lemon.
• Puree again on high to incorporate the lemon juice. In terms of consistency, you're aiming for a chunky paste. Some leftover bits of peas are fine, but you should be able to spread it on a piece of toast with a knife.
• Toss in the garlic powder and some kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper. (Start with a little, add more after you taste.) Add the mint and most of the sliced scallion (save a little to garnish the dish). Mix together until uniform.
• Transfer to a serving bowl.
• Drizzle with good, fruity olive. Serve warm or at room temp. Enjoy!

In a small bowl, soak the bread in the milk, then crumble the bread into the meat.Mix the scallion whites, parsley, mint, garlic, egg, lemon zest and a healthy drizzle of EVOO into the meat. Separate the mixture into four equal portions. Using your hands, form four mini loaves about 1 1/2 inches thick. Place the loaves on the prepared baking sheet and roast in the oven until cooked through, 15-18 minutes.Meanwhile, in a pot, combine the potatoes and enough cold water to cover; bring to boil. Salt the water and cook the potatoes until tender, 15-20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and return to the hot pot. Add the half-and-half, scallion greens and 2 tablespoons butter; mash to your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper, then fold in the peas. Cover the pan to keep warm.In a small skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Whisk in the flour for 1 minute, then whisk in the beef stock (or consomme) and Worcestershire; season with pepper.
