Pea p\u00e2t\u00e9<\/p><\/div>\n

Total time:\u00a0 30 minutes, plus optional overnight chilling<\/p>\n

The June 2010 Daring Cook’s Challenge was hosted by Evelyne, of Cheap Ethnic Eatz<\/a>, and Valerie, of The Chocolate Bunny<\/a>, and they chose delicious p\u00e2t\u00e9 with freshly baked bread.<\/p>\n

Adapted from Sesame Sweet Pea Spread in 356 Ways to Cook Vegetarian by Kitty Morse.<\/p>\n

10 ounces petite peas
\n1\/4 cup tahini (sesame paste)
\n1\/4 cup dry sherry
\n2 Tbsp butter
\n1\/2 large onion, finely chopped
\n1 clove garlic, minced
\n2 tsp lemon juice
\n1 tsp salt<\/p>\n

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and cook onion and garlic until softened (3-4 minutes). Add peas, sherry, and salt. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until peas are soft (4-5 minutes). Stir in lemon juice, and let cool 5 minutes.<\/p>\n

In a blender or food processor, puree pea mixture. Add tahini and process until well blended.<\/p>\n

Pea P\u00e2t\u00e9 with Pecans<\/p><\/div>\n

Serve chilled, formed or not.<\/p>\n

I lined my cupcake tin with saran wrap, placed a pair of pecans in one cup, then filled them with pea mash. After chilling in the refrigerator overnight, I gently flipped them out onto my cutting board to make cute little mini p\u00e2t\u00e9s.<\/p>\n

This was the recipe I selected instead of doing the roasted red peppers from the DC challenge recipe. Maybe it was the sherry, maybe it was the tahini, I’m not quite sure, but something just didn’t seem right tasting to me after it chilled in the refrigerator. I liked it better warm, as a spread, than cold as a p\u00e2t\u00e9.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
