Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Start by heating the butter in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion turns translucent and fragrant.

  2. Add the frozen peas to the saucepan, stirring to combine with the onion and garlic mixture. Let the peas cook for about 2-3 minutes until they start to thaw.

  3. Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth, stirring well to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for another 5-7 minutes, allowing the peas to soften and absorb the flavors of the broth.

  4. Using a potato masher or the back of a fork, gently mash the peas to your desired consistency. If you prefer a smoother texture, continue mashing until you reach the desired consistency. For a chunkier version, mash less.

  5. Season the mushy peas with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed throughout the dish.

  6. Remove the saucepan from the heat and transfer the mushy peas to a serving bowl. These peas are best served warm alongside your favorite main dish, whether it's roast chicken, grilled fish, or even a hearty meat pie.
