🛒 Ingredients

Traditional Version (Authentic Chip Shop Style):

  • 1 cup dried marrowfat peas

  3. Season and Mash
    Add salt, a touch of sugar (if desired), and butter. Mash slightly for a rustic texture or blend for smoother consistency.

Quick Version (Frozen Peas):

  1. Boil or Steam Peas
    Cook peas in boiling water for 3–4 minutes or until tender. Drain.

  2. Blend and Season
    Blend peas with butter, salt, pepper, and mint (if using) until they reach a mushy texture. Add a splash of water or cream if needed.
