This is a recipe from my monthly Garten Flora magazine issue. Not only beautiful gardens are shown in it, but often recipes to one special item grown in season.
I saw this and made my own version of it.
Time for fresh peas is gone, but the frozen ones are as good as the fresh ones and a lot of time is saved, because they are already shelled.
Fresh mint from the balcony and some dried mint tea for a more intense flavour.
The prep time is short and only one pot and a stick blender are needed.
Recipe:
350 g defrosted peas
60 g leek
1 yellow onion
2 green onions
2 garlic cloves
4 stalks fresh mint
1 mint tea bag
1 knob of butter
1 tbsp oil
500 ml veg stock
100 g Feta with herbs
Salt and pepper
Roughly chop leek and onions, keep the garlic whole. Heat up butter and oil and sauté the veggies for 5 min. Add the leaves from 2 mint stalks. Season with salt and pepper.
Add peas, dried mint and hot veg stock. Bring to a boil and cover with a lid. Reduce the heat and cook for 10 min.
Use a stick blender to make a smooth soup. Place in bowls and add fresh mint leaves and cubed Feta.
