Snow Pea Puree

Ingredients

• 150g snow peas, strings removed
• 3–4 tablespoons reserved steaming water

Method

1. 01

   Wash the snow peas and snap off the stem end, pulling the string along the side to remove it.

2. 02

   Place in a steamer basket over boiling water. Steam for 4–5 minutes — they should be bright green and tender but not mushy.

3. 03

   Transfer immediately to a blender. Add 3–4 tablespoons of the steaming water.

4. 04

   Blend until as smooth as possible.

5. 05

   Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove the outer pod skins, resulting in a silky smooth, bright green puree.
