Minty Peas with Hemp

Frozen peas cooked and blended up with some Greek yogurt, salt and pepper, a little fresh mint, and you have something magical and oh so simple; with a little extra protein and all round nutritional boost from hemp seeds! 

Topped with soft boiled eggs, some seasonal radish and watercress. It’s a simple brunch, light lunch or dinner dish. You could of course have a hunk of toasted sourdough on the side to wipe your bowl or plate clean.

Ingredients

For the Pea Puree 

• 220g frozen peas
• 1 tsp minced garlic
• 2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp fresh mint leaves
• 2 tbsp Linwoods Shelled Hemp
• ¼ tsp salt to taste
• ¼ tsp black pepper to taste

To Serve

• Two boiled eggs cooked to your liking; I cook mine in boiling water for 8 minutes for a soft but cooked centre
• Watercress or Rocket
• Thinly Sliced Radish
• Black pepper and hemp seeds to garnish 

Directions

1. Place peas into a microwave safe jug. Cover with water and cook on high in the microwave for 2 minutes.
2. You can also cook your peas in boiling water for about 5 minutes on the stove if you prefer.
3. Drain peas and place into your high speed blender with the rest of the ingredients and blend until smooth. It should only take 2 to 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
4. Serve topped with soft boiled eggs, cresh, radish and hemp seeds and as much or as little black pepper as you fancy.
