Plein Temps Tout?

Roughly translates as 'full time everything!' Leading such a busy life, like so many of us. It's easy to fall into the trap of convenience over quality. But ready meals, sauces in jars and processed food always tasted a bit naff to me. Now cooking from scratch is a big part of my home life and I'm always out to convert people who think they can't, for a number of reasons. I'm always inspired to try new ideas and flavours, and when things work I'll put them on here, alongside some classics of course!

Pimpin' Peas

Minty Pea Puree (for 2)

As per a request - it's a quick and easy way to pimp frozen peas and is lovely with fish/scampi or my favourite coke boiled ham ( Click here for the recipe!)

Cook your frozen peas in a pan in vegetable stock (i usually just use an oxo) and when cooked through drain off most of the stock but leave a little in the pan with the peas. 

Add a teaspoon of mint sauce and a heaped desert spoon of cream cheese, then blitz up roughly with a stick blender ( it's best if you leave it with some texture). Add a squeeze of lemon if you're having it with fish/chicken.

Credit for this goes to my mum-in-law Liz :) xx
