It has been some time since I ate a tasty portion of mushy peas here in Sweden. Which means that I had to try to make my own version.

Mushy peas with chili |
The ingredients are simple:
- Green peas
- Chili, I used red, but if you use green, you can hide it better
- Cream
- Juice from lemon
- Garlic
- Salt and pepper
- Butter

The ingredients, except butter. |
Boil the peas, mine was frozen so I added a few minutes compared to if they had been thawed. I also chose to add the garlic so it was boiled. I took it away before I started mashing the peas. Another choice is to crush the garlic and add it at the mushing.

Bathing peas, chili and garlic. |
Drain and remove the garlic clove. Add the butter, cream, salt and pepper, then mash it all together to the consistency you want. I like it when it is not completely smooth.

Mash the peas with some butter and cream. |
Serve everything nicely or directly on a plate along with some fish and chips.

Notes
As we look at the last picture, we can see that I probably was a bit generous with the cream, but it was tasty anyway.
The reason I cooked the garlic clove was a whim from a recipe I saw somewhere. I do not think it made a direct difference so next time I probably will crush it and add it along the salt and pepper.
