Creamy Green Pea and Potato Casserole

Breaking with tradition: instead of sour cream, a vibrant, sweet green pea cream embraces layers of sliced potatoes. This dish is visually striking with its play of green and yellow layers and offers surprising harmony: the richness of coconut cream and freshness of peas meet the comfort of roasted potatoes.

Instructions

1

Boil potatoes in their skins in salted water until tender. Cool completely, peel, and slice into rounds.

Tip: Due to starch retrogradation, cooled potatoes are firmer and slice cleanly without breaking.
2

Cook the peas in boiling water for 3-4 minutes, then drain.

Tip: Do not overcook; keep them bright green.
3

Place peas, coconut cream, garlic, salt, and pepper in a blender. Blitz until completely smooth and vibrantly green.

Tip: The fat in the coconut cream creates a creamy emulsion.
4

Oil a baking dish. Layer the potatoes, spread with pea cream, and sprinkle with a little cheese. Repeat layers.

5

Top with remaining cheese and breadcrumbs, then drizzle with a little oil.

Tip: The combination of crumbs and oil creates a crispy crust.
6

Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.

7

Let rest before serving, then garnish with parsley.

Recipe FAQ

What kind of peas should I use?
Young, frozen green peas are best because they are sweet and vibrantly colored. Canned peas are too soft and dull for this.
