Instructions

1 ✓

Dice the onion very finely, crush the garlic. Wash and chop the parsley.

Tip: The finer the onion, the better it melts into the sauce, so there won't be distracting chunks in the creamy texture.
2 ✓

Heat oil in the frying pan and sauté onion over low heat until translucent and soft. Add garlic at the end.

Tip: Do not brown the onion, as it would change the beautiful light colour and taste of the sauce.
3 ✓

Add green peas and toss. If using frozen, sauté until thawed and water evaporates.

Tip: Sudden heat treatment of peas helps preserve their colour. (Chlorophyll is heat sensitive).
4 ✓

Pour in the cream. Season with salt and pepper, and simmer on gentle heat for 5-7 minutes until sauce thickens.

Tip: Fats in cream form an emulsion under heat, making it creamy (reduction). Careful not to boil too hard or it might split.
5 ✓

Remove from heat and stir in fresh parsley. Serve immediately.

Tip: Never cook parsley, only add at the end so it keeps its vitamin content and fresh taste.

Recipe FAQ

What if the sauce is too runny?
Boil for a few more minutes to evaporate water, or mix a teaspoon of cornflour in a little water and add it.
Can I use tinned peas?
Yes, but add them only at the very end of cooking, as they are already soft and mush easily.
What else can I flavour it with?
A little lemon juice or grated lemon zest highlights the sweetness of peas wonderfully and makes the overall effect fresher.
