GreenMix: Creamy Pea(rl)s with Fresh Basil

What you need to have… 200 g dry peas/ 1 can peas, 1/2 Knorr cube (chicken, vegetables, whatever… ok, maybe fish wouldn’t work so well ), 4 garlic cloves, 50 g sour cream/ creme fraiche, 1 bunch fresh basil, 1 lemon

What you need to do… if you’re using the dry peas, let them soak in water for about 1 hour. Wash the peas, and throw them in 400 ml boiling water. Add the 1/2 Knorr cube and the chopped garlic, stir, and let simmer on medium fire for about 1/2 hour. Add salt and freshly ground pepper (a lot!). If you’re using canned peas, forget about the soaking, throw the peas and the garlic in 400 ml broth and lower the simmering time (some 10 minutes should do). When peas are cooked, remove from fire, add sour cream and chopped basil. Sprinkle with lemon juice. Enjoy!
