Spring pea purée pairs so well with fresh goat cheese and a nice glass of crisp white wine.
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil (Divided)
- 1/2 Small White Onion (Diced)
- 2 Garlic Cloves (Sliced)
- 3 Cups Shelled English Peas (Blanched)
- 1 Teaspoon Fresh Thyme Leaves
- 1/4 Teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
- 2 1/2 Ounces Fresh Baby Spinach
- 1 1/2 Cups Crisp White Wine
- 1 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
- Fresh Goat Cheese (For Serving)
- Crostini (For Serving)
- In large-size skillet over a medium heat add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add onion and sauté 6 to 8 minutes until soft and translucent. Add garlic, peas, thyme, and red pepper. Cook 1 to 2 minutes. Add spinach and cook 2 to 2 minutes. Turn heat to high and add wine. Bring to a simmer. Simmer 1 minute. Stir in remaining olive oil. Remove from heat.
- Transfer mixture to food processor or blender. Add kosher salt. Purée to desired consistency. I like it a bit chunky, but if you like the consistency smooth then go for it. Transfer to bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator until ready to serve.
- To serve spread goat cheese on crostini, top with pea purée.
- Makes about 3 cups.
- Serves 8
