Ingredients 

  • 1 kg 35 oz frozen green peas, thawed
  • 4 garlic cloves mashed
  • 250 ml 1 cup soy vegetable cooking cream (I used Alpro Cuisine Soya)
  • 4 Tbsps olive oil
  • fresh dill chopped (add as much as you like, I tend to add a lot of fresh herbs to my meals, but this is just a personal preference)
  • some fresh thyme to taste
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 100 g ½ cup crispy fried onions
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

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