Pea purée (TM)
I made this to go with fish instead of the conventional parsley sauce, as peas and white fish work very well together.

Serving suggestions
Serve as a sauce or dip, depending on how thick you make it (see Variations below)
Recipe source
- Adapted from a recipe for Cream of Garden Peas in Fast and Easy Cooking, the book supplied with Thermomixes in the UK
Variations
You can thicken the mixture by adding more peas. Add more stock or milk to thin down, but I doubt if you would want it to be much thinner. Add herbs, spices or other flavourings if desired.
Chef's notes
Some people may feel that 25 minutes to cook the onions and garlic is too long. Personally, I find that a longer cooking time gives you maximum flavour from the ingredients.
