    Ingredients

    Metric - US Customary
    • 1 garlic clove, peeled and finely chopped
    • 1 onion, peeled and finely chopped
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 500 g frozen peas
    • 200 g potatoes, about 1 large potato (peeled weight), cut into 1-2cm cubes, note 1
    • 4 tablespoons fresh mint leaves, chopped, note 2
    • 650 mls vegetable stock, note 3
    • salt and pepper to taste

    Instructions

    • Add the olive oil to a large pan and heat up on medium heat. Add the chopped onions and garlic and saute for 5 minutes until the onion is translucent.

    1. Potatoes - cutting them into small even cubes ensures they cook quickly and evenly.
    2. Mint - adjust the mint accordingly, depending on taste.
    3. Vegetable stock - either homemade or store-bought. For convenience, we use a stock cube, but you could also use vegetable stock from a carton.
