Peas are one of my favorite vegetables. This is a quick and easy recipe for a pureed pea dish that is similar in consistency to mashed potatoes. I resisted trying this dish for some time, since it sounded like baby food, but after trying it I fell in love with a new way to serve peas. Give it a try, you will like it.
