Fresh Basil &/Or Mint Pea Puree

Have you gotten on the avocado toast train yet? While I LOVE me some of that healthy fat & energizing goodness, today I’m sharing a more cost-efficient and protein-rich alternative that can *double* as a delicious sauce or topper to any protein or vegetable!

Add a little pep to your week with my Fresh Basil &/Or Mint Pea Puree {pictured here on my Loaded Green Goodness Toast – both recipes a fave from my digital Living Fully Cookbook}:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
INGREDIENTS:
2-3 leeks (white part only)
 1 + 3 Tbsp. organic, cold-pressed olive oil
 2 (16 oz.) packages of frozen peas
 1 (.75 oz.) package fresh basil or mint
 1- tsp. minced garlic (or 2 cloves)
 1/2 cup bone broth or water
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
DIRECTIONS:
 Add 1 Tbsp. oil & garlic to a sauté pan on medium heat.
 Chop leeks, then add to pan. Cook 3 min, then add peas & cook together for an additional 5 min.
 Add pea mixture to blender or food processor with fresh mint and/or basil (or both).

One of the best things about this recipe? It’s so VERSATILE! Try serving it over organic, sprouted grain // gluten-free bread or a roasted yam – maybe with a runny egg, radish and lightly dressed greens on top (like pictured).

OR add a little more broth (or olive oil) and thin the pea purée as an awesome sauce to add to roasted or grilled veggies, mixed with zucchini (or other vegetable) noodles or dolloped over white fish, chicken and even shrimp!

Let me know if you try it. It’s good in the fridge for up to 5 days, so makes the perfect addition to your breakfast lineup to add ease, flavor & energy! And if you’re looking for more simplicity & delicious upgrades to your weeks, grab my Living Fully E-Cookbook here!
