Super quick-to-make side recipe"},"content":{"rendered":"

At home the sides are very much appreciated.<\/p>\n

We like to eat vegetables and, often, our meal, especially in the evening, consists of a couple of side dishes or a salad with a slice of good bread.<\/p>\n

Some side dishes take time, others are prepared in a short time.
\nThis one is ready in 15 minutes and besides being completely vegetarian, it is also vegan and gluten-free.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And if I told you that this is an ancient and traditional recipe?<\/p>\n

\"Basil<\/p>\n

A modern puree recipe that is also ancient.<\/strong><\/h5>\n

We often think old recipes have to be elaborate and rich in ingredients.
\nSo you may be surprised to learn that mashed peas is a traditional peasant recipe. In the book Cuoco bolognese, a treatise on cooking provided over an economical, simple, and easy method of preparing all sorts of food<\/em> from 1857<\/strong>, later reprinted as La cuciniera Bolognese<\/em> (1874), we find a recipe for mashed peas. Lentil, rice, barley, and chickpea purees are also mentioned in the cookbook.<\/p>\n

The old Bolognese version of mashed peas also included a little onion and prosciutto. I have revisited the recipe to make it quicker and light. But remember to add basil and lime or lemon juice. If you prefer a more comfortable food version, replace the citrus with grated Parmesan cheese.<\/p>\n

In addition to blanching peas, in season or frozen, reduce the vegetable to a cream with an immersion blender. Season to taste, and your side dish is ready.<\/p>\n

\n
Basil Pea Pur\u00e9e doesn’t require much time or effort. It’s a perfect side recipe when you’re short on time and want to make something good at home.
\nIt is also gluten and lactose-free recipe.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

It is good to taste warm and at room temperature to accompany a course, roasts, and eggs, for example, or to stuff piadine<\/a> and\u00a0<\/span>tigelle.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Buona cucina, Monica<\/p>\n

Food Tips<\/strong><\/h5>\n

I prefer to use lime juice which is less bitter than lemon.<\/p>\n

You can use fresh mint leaves instead of basil.<\/p>\n
