Start by boiling a pot of salted water. Once it's bubbling, toss in the frozen peas. They only need about 3 to 4 minutes until they’re bright green and tender. For a twist, you can also steam them if you prefer to retain more of their nutrients.

Once the peas are ready, drain them in a colander. Let them cool briefly. This cooling down process helps you handle them easily without burning those fingers.

Now, transfer the peas to a food processor. Add the olive oil, spring onions, butter, and honey. Blend until smooth. You can adjust the consistency according to your taste. Want it creamy? Blend longer. Prefer some texture? Pulse a few times.

Taste your mash—now is the fun part! Add sea salt, freshly cracked black pepper, mint, and lemon zest. Blend again for just a few seconds until everything’s mixed. Adjust with more salt or pepper if needed.

Transfer the pea mash to a serving bowl. You can drizzle a little more olive oil on top for extra flair. Instant culinary cred!
