Achieving a vibrant, green, smooth pea purée is difficult with classical cooking methods. Freezing the peas and puréeing in the Pacojet ensures that the fiber in the pea is broken down and not the chlorophyll, making for a vividly green purée.
Part 1:
Pacojet Pea Purée
Step 1
Freeze the peas and the water in the Pacojet beaker overnight or until completely frozen.
Step 2
Once completely frozen, pacotize the contents of the beaker three times on a full cycle.
Step 3
To use the pea purée for service, scoop out 1 cup of the puréed pea base and heat in a small sauce pot. The pea purée will begin to thicken as the starches are activated (add ultratex or xanthan gum for a thicker consistency).
Step 4
To finish the purée, adjust the seasoning with salt, white pepper, and about 1 tablespoon olive oil. The purée should be silky smooth. Remove from heat and taste once more for seasoning, adding more salt or white pepper as needed.
Step 5
Get creative to use this purée with many different dishes.
