Yatala at home

It was finally time to test out my mushy pea making abilities and cook up our family size Yatala Pie..

As any home cook does these days I trawled the internet looking for a good recipe and finally decided on  a quick and easy Jamie Oliver recipe:

Jamie's Minty Mushy Peas
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 bunch spring onions, chopped
1 handful fresh mint, leaves picked
1 pound (500 grams) frozen peas
2 large knobs butter
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Heat the oil in a pan and add the chopped onions, mint, and peas. Cover and leave for a few minutes to steam. Mash with a potato masher. You can do this with a food processor as well, just pulse it until smooth. Whether mashing or pulsing, when it's done add the butter and season very carefully, to taste.

I think next time I wish mash up the peas a bit more but it was still delicious. Here is the final product:
