Steps:
- Fill a pan with cold water and throw in the clove of garlic. Bring to the boil and then add salt and the peas. Cook until tender, drain, and put into a food processor, or blender, and add the creme fraiche, cheese, and dried mint. Puree the peas until knobbly and check the seasoning, adding salt if you need to. Tip the pureed peas into a bowl (or back in the pan is probably a better idea) and cover to keep them warm.
MINTED PEA PURéE
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Add the water to a medium pot and bring to a boil. Add the peas, fresh mint, and a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the peas are tender, about 5 minutes.
- Drain the peas and mint in a colander.
- Using an immersion blender , quickly purée the peas and mint to create a smooth paste. If you don't have an immersion blender, use a food processor instead or mash the peas well with a potato masher or fork. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste.
- You can use the peas in rough purée form, but if you want a very fine, smooth purée, push the mixture through a fine sieve.
- Stir in the butter and chopped mint leaves (if using) until all the butter has melted and is incorporated into the purée.
- Serve minted pea purée warm alongside your favorite meat or fish dish.

- Roughly mash the pea mixture with a potato masher, or, if you prefer a smoother texture, purée with a hand blender. (It's best to leave some of the peas whole or roughly crushed for texture.) Season to taste and stir through the mint leaves just before serving.

Tips:

- If you don't have a food processor, you can mash the peas with a fork or potato masher. Just be sure to mash them until they are very smooth.
- If you want a thinner puree, add more yogurt or water. If you want a thicker puree, add less yogurt or water.
- Taste the puree before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice.
- Garnish the puree with fresh mint leaves or other herbs before serving.
- Serve the puree immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
