Green Pea Flan
Description
It works both for a holiday and for everyday meals. Green pea flan is a French dish whose consistency is similar to soufflé. It is served cold. It is usually served with green salad and lightly smoked salmon. What I personally like very much is that green pea flan looks very impressive, has a bright green color, and therefore looks great on a festive table.

Step 1
Add the green peas and mint leaves to boiling water and cook for exactly 1 minute, then remove from the water and IMMEDIATELY transfer them to a small pot of ice water. If you delay, the peas and mint will lose their color, and the dish won't look as appealing.

Step 2
Once the green peas and mint leaves have sat in ice water for a couple of minutes, place them in a blender bowl and blend until smooth.

Step 5
Take several baking molds and lightly grease them with butter. Transfer our mixture into the molds. Then place the molds in a large baking dish or sheet pan filled with water. The water level should reach halfway up the sides of the molds. Cover everything with foil and place in an oven preheated to 160°C. Bake for 30 minutes.
