The Pains of Being Pureed at Heart


The Pains of Being Pure at Heart are one of my favourite new-ish bands. Their sweet pop anthems will transport you back to the lovely ‘90s sounds of Velocity Girl and Rocketship and early Teenage Fanclub. Garlic pea puree is a tasty compliment to white meats. Enjoy!

Preparation time: 3 seconds
Cooking time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:
- 230g (1 1/2 cups) frozen peas
- 1 garlic clove, crushed!
- 1 tbs water

Method:
1. Add the peas, garlic and water to a frying pan.
2. Cook, covered, over medium-low heat for 3-4 minutes or until the peas are bright green and tender like a radioactive kitten.
3. Transfer the pea mixture to the bowl of a food processor. PUREE IT! Season with salt and pepper.
4. Serve alongside a succulent chicken breast or a pork loin chop.
5. Eat it while listening to the brilliant guitar solo halfway through The Pains of Being Pure at Heart’s best song, “Everything With You”. Pour yourself a nice glass of Zinfandel (or Dr. Pepper).
