Healthy & Delicious: Irio Recipe

• 2 cups frozen green peas
• 1 1/2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into small chunks
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 2 cups fresh or frozen corn

1. Place the peas and potatoes in a large saucepan and add water to cover. Stir in the salt and place over medium flame. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are cooked through. Drain, reserving the liquid.
2. Simmer the corn with a little salted water in a separate saucepan for a few minutes while the potatoes and peas are cooking.
3. Mash the potatoes and peas together with a potato masher or put through a ricer to form a pale green puree. Stir in the corn with a little of the reserved liquid and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve hot.
4. Add a little butter to the final puree for a little more flavor if you like.
