The Bite Me girls puree their peas but my sister-in-law J. suggests that using Loblaw's mini peas (les petits pois) without mashing or pureeing them works best in this recipe. This is a "great dish, even if you hate peas" apparently.
Ingredients:
- 4 cups of frozen peas
- 1/2 cup Kraft Philadelphia whipped cream cheese
- 1/4 cup of butter at room temperature
- 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh mint
- 1 teaspoon of kosher salt
In a medium saucepan bring water to a boil over high heat. Add the frozen peas, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes. Drain the peas well. This is where the Bite Me recipe calls for pureeing the peas in a food processor along with the cream cheese, butter, mint and salt. If you decide not to mush the peas up, but rather, serve them whole as J. did, I would mix the cream cheese, butter , mint and salt together until smooth prior to adding the mixture to the cooked, drained peas.
This recipe serves 6-8.
