Zubereitung

1
Thaw the peas completely and drain away any excess water. Pick over them briefly, discarding any shriveled pieces.
2
Put the peas, water, 15 g of the butter, salt, and white pepper in a medium saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, then cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring once or twice, until the peas are hot and tender.
3
Remove the pan from the heat. Crush about two-thirds of the peas with a potato masher or the back of a wooden spoon, leaving the rest visibly whole for a rustic texture.

4
Stir in the lemon juice, chopped mint, and remaining 15 g butter. Taste and adjust the salt, then return to low heat for 1 to 2 minutes until glossy and spoonable; do not allow the mixture to boil.
5
Spoon the peas into a warm serving bowl, dot with any remaining butter, and scatter with mint leaves. Serve immediately while hot and creamy.

Warum dieses Rezept gelingt

A short simmer softens the peas without washing out their flavor, while butter adds richness and mint brings a clean, fresh contrast. Partial crushing creates the characteristic spoonable texture without turning the dish into a purée.
