Minted Pea Spread

Yield:
5 cups

Ingredients:

  1. 2 pkgs. (10 oz.) frozen baby peas
  2. 1 medium onion, chopped
  3. 1 1/2 cup water
  4. 1/2 teaspoon salt
  5. 4 teaspoons finely chopped fresh mint leaves
  6. Melba toast squares or assorted crackers
Directions:

Combine peas, onion, water, and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, according to package directions or until peas are tender. Drain, reserving liquid. Stir mint into peas.

Transfer pea mixture to a food processor. Process for several minutes until smooth, adding enough liquid to obtain a thick puree. Cover and chill for 30 minutes. Spoon chilled puree into a pastry bag fitted with a small tip. Pipe onto Melba toast squares or crackers.
