This is a really easy and quick supper recipe making the most of seasonal greens and herbs!
300g Spring greens (Or Chard, Spinach & Kale depending on season, roughly chopped)
1 Small onion (finely diced)
2 Cloves Garlic (Crushed and chopped)
200g Peas (Fresh or frozen)
2 Sprigs of Mint
100g Creme Fraiche
1 tsp Dijon Mustard
Salt and Pepper
Your choice of Pasta
Olive oil
Feta Cheese
Step 1.
Firstly bring a large pan of water to the boil. In another sauce pan over a medium heat heat some olive oil and add the onion and garlic. Sweat off gently until soft then add your spring greens and a little splash of water. Mix together well then cook with a lid on for a 3 minutes until just cooked. Take off the heat.
Step 2.
Add the greens to a blender. Next add your peas to the pan of boiling water and cook for a few minutes until cooked, then scoop out of the water with a slotted spoon (don’t want to waste the water!) and add to the blender. Add the Mint, Creme Fraiche, mustard and seasoning to the rest of the ingredients and then blend until smooth and vibrantly green! Taste and check for seasoning adjusting to your taste. Decant the sauce back into the sauce pan to heat just before serving.
Step 3.
Next cook your pasta and then strain and toss through the sauce. To serve rip some fresh mint leaves over the top, crumble some feta cheese and drizzle over a little olive oil.
