Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel and finely chop the onion.
- Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
- In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until they are soft and translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the peas to the skillet with the onions and garlic.
- Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for about 3-4 minutes until the peas are heated through and tender.
- Transfer the cooked peas, onions, and garlic to a blender or food processor.
- Add the light sour cream to the mixture.

- Taste the puree and season with salt and pepper to your liking.

Tips:
- To ensure a smoother texture, use a high-powered blender or food processor.
- For added flavor, consider using sautéed shallots instead of onion.
- If you prefer a vegan version, substitute the butter with olive oil and the sour cream with a plant-based alternative.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste and consider adding a splash of lemon juice for a hint of acidity.
- Garnish with fresh herbs like mint or parsley for an extra burst of freshness.
In conclusion, creamy pea puree is not only easy to prepare, but it's also packed with flavor and nutrients.
