Minty, Mushy English Peas Recipe

My minty, mushy peas recipe may or may not be "proper," but they are delicious. Bright, vibrant green with just a hint of mint, they're great with fish or chicken.

Mushy peas are a traditional side dish to the British classic fish and chips.

One of the Corinthia Hotel's restaurants, The Northall, features "traditional British fare focusing on seasonal produce supplied by artisanal producers from around the British Isles." Without hesitation, I chose the Deep Fried Haddock in Beer Batter, chips and "proper mushy peas."

Use caution when pulsing with the food processor, as you want them coarsely mashed, not pureed.
