Pea cream with white Kampot pepper

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 350 g frozen peas
  • 1 yellow onion
  • 1 carrot
  • 1 stalk of celery
  • 2 allspice berries
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 3 black Kampot peppercorns pepper
  • 3 cloves of garlic
  • 200 g farm smoked meat
  • juice from half a lemon
  • Kampot salt
  • white Kampot pepper 

Instructions

1. First, prepare the vegetable broth if you don't already have it ready at home. In 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, sauté the celery stalk sliced into thin half-moons and one carrot cut into small cubes. Once both are sautéed to a light golden brown, add the finely chopped yellow onion and sauté until golden. Color = flavor. 

2. Pour 2 cups  cold water. Add 2 balls of new spices, 2 bay leaves, and 3 black peppercorns. Also add onion peels (not the top dirty layer) to the broth, which will give it a golden color. Let it simmer for 20 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, while the broth is cooking, finely chop 1 yellow onion, grate 3 cloves of garlic with the sprouts removed, and dice 200 g of smoked meat. Sauté the onion in a pot with oil, then add half of the smoked meat. Sauté both well ..

4. Add Package frozen peas. Pour our homemade strained vegetable broth into the pot. Don’t pour it all in; keep some broth aside in case the cream is too thick and needs to be diluted. Add the garlic to the pot and cook for 5-10 minutes until the peas are soft.

5. Meanwhile, toast the other half of the smoked meat dry in a non-stick pan. Roast until the smoked meat is nicely browned on all sides.

6. Now blend the contents of the pot. If you have a blender, that’s ideal. If not, use an immersion blender and strain through a sieve. Then season the cream well with salt, don’t be afraid to add freshly ground pepper, and especially don’t skimp on acidity with lemon juice.

7. You can garnish the soup. Toast some whole grain bread in a toaster or in a pan with a little butter, then cut it into small cubes. In a non-stick pan, toast some sunflower and pumpkin seeds.

8. Finally, pour the pea cream into a bowl, sprinkle on the toasted smoked meat, croutons, seeds, and enjoy a great soup.

 

Enjoy your meal!
