Pea Pod Puree

4 servings

Ingredients

• Peas (as needed)
• Water (a little)
• Salt (a little)
• Butter (a little)
• Parsley (a little)

Instructions

1. If the peas become thick and somewhat hard in late summer, it is advisable to prepare them as a puree.
2. Wash the shelled peas thoroughly and start them cold in soft water, without salting.
3. When they are just tender, before they overcook, drain the water, press the peas through a fine sieve, and bring the puree to a boil with salt, butter, and very finely chopped parsley.

Modernized from a treasured 19th-century German cookbook.
