Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
  • Blending hot liquid. Let it cool a little first, fill the blender no more than a third, and hold the lid down with a folded towel. Start on the lowest speed. A stick blender in the pan is safer.

Method

  1. Boil the peas in water;
  2. with 1 onion, and a seasoning of salt and sugar;
  3. when the peas are done, drain;
  4. and press them through a tammy cloth;
  5. put the purée in a stewpan, and mix it smooth with one-eighth of its quantity of Béchamel Sauce.
