Lamb Sausage With Pea Purée And Pea Sprouts Recipe
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
- 4 lamb sausages
- 2 1/2 cups fresh or frozen baby peas
- 2 tablespoons chopped mint leaves
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Handful fresh pea sprouts
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 4 pitas, quartered
- Melt two tablespoons butter in a 12-inch non-stick skillet set over medium-low heat. When butter stops foaming, add the lamb sausages and cover the skillet. Cook until sausages are browned on the bottom, 8 to 10 minutes. Flip the sausages, cover again, and cook until browned on the other side and cooked through, another 8 to 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring a quart of salted water to a boil in a medium saucepan set over high heat. Add peas and cook until tender and warm, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain the peas, reserving a 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid. Transfer peas to a food processor along with 1 tablespoon butter and chopped mint. Process until smooth, adding in some of the cooking liquid until it has the texture of hummus. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- To serve, spoon some of the puree on a plate and top with a sausage, pea sprouts, a sprinkling of feta, and some pita triangles.
