❓ What Is Gordon Ramsay Pea Puree Recipe?

Gordon Ramsay’s Pea Puree is a velvety blend crafted from frozen peas, butter, garlic, shallots, and stock. Its smooth, vibrant texture bursts with fresh pea flavor, enhanced by the subtle richness of butter and aromatics.

🧈 Gordon Ramsay Pea Puree Ingredients

  • 2 pounds frozen peas
  • 8 tablespoons butter , unsalted
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 medium eschalots , finely sliced (ie the baby onions, aka French onions, US: shallots)
  • 2 cups chicken or vegetable stock/broth , low sodium (use vegetable stock if the puree is for fish)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon white pepper

Minted Option:

  • 1 small handfuls mint leaves (optional)

🍵 How To Make Gordon Ramsay Pea Puree

  1. Aromatics. In a pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Toss in the eschalots and garlic. Cook for three minutes, until the eschalots are soft but not brown.
  2. Cook peas. Turn up the heat and add the frozen peas and stock. Once it starts to boil, cover it and lower the heat to medium. Cook for two minutes.
  3. Reserve Liquid. Take out 1/3 cup of the juice from the pot and set it aside.
  4. Hurry up. Put the peas and any juice that’s left over into a food processor. Add pepper, salt, and mint, if you want to use it. For one minute, blend on high until smooth.
  5. Optional straining. It’s easy to press through a mesh sieve with a rubber spatula to make it extra smooth.
  6. Adjust consistency. As needed, add Reserved Liquid to get the consistency you want. For me, I like a soft, dolloping consistency. People sometimes want it to be less tight. If you want, add more salt and pepper, but keep in mind that this shouldn’t have a strong flavor or seasoning.
  7. Serve warm. Spread it out on plates or put it in bowls so people can help themselves.

💭 Recipe Tips

  • Control salt carefully; taste before adding more due to stock’s sodium content.
  • Adjust stock for thickness; too much makes it runny, impacting taste.
  • Sauté aromatics gently to avoid altering the puree’s flavor.
  • Moderate white pepper for subtle heat without overpowering peas.
  • Blend in batches for a smooth, lump-free texture.
