It has the flavour of peas, with an undercurrent of sweet and bitter. Remarkable colour and stunning visual effect.

I do not like 'mushy peas', however I have quite enjoyed eating this Smile

Ingredients:
1kg Petit Pois
100g Butter
250g Honey
200g Shallots
100ml White wine Vinegar
200ml Vegetable nage/ Stock
Salt and pepper to taste

Blanch the peas in boiling salted water. Refresh in an ice bath.

Sweat the shallots in the butter. Reserve to one side and allow to cool.

Place all ingredients in a blender and blend at high speed for approximately 7 minutes. Strain through a fine sieve.

When reheating the puree, add a little stock and a knob of butter and reduce till required consistency.
