Ingredients 

  • 1 kg frozen green peas thawed
  • 4 cloves garlic mashed
  • 250 ml soy vegetable cooking cream I used Alpro Cuisine Soya
  • 4 Tbsp olive oil
  • fresh dill chopped, add as much as you like
  • fresh thyme to taste
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 100 g crispy fried onions
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a large pan. Add the mashed garlic and green peas and mix well. Add 1/4 glass of water, cover with the lid, and let it cook for 10 minutes.
  • Add the herbs, seasonings, and soy vegetable cooking cream. Mix well and cook for 5 more minutes, or until soft. It may take a bit longer if you do not let the frozen peas thaw beforehand. The brand of frozen peas I use is pre-blanched, very young, and fine, which means a shorter cooking time, so adapt accordingly.
  • Once cooked, turn off the heat. Add the crispy fried onions and mix.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Add the crispy fried onions just before serving so they stay crunchy. Cooking time can vary depending on whether your peas are pre-blanched and how finely they are sized.
