Preparation

Step #1

Shell and rinse the peas.

Step #2

Blanch the peas by passing them 1 minute (3 minutes if you want them rather tender than crunchy) in a saucepan of simmering water, then cool them with cold water. Set the peas aside in the colander.

Step #3

Chisel the basil leaves (keeping a few whole leaves for decoration). Mash them in mortar with the black garlic cloves cut into pieces in 4 tablespoons of Bouteillan olive oil.

Step #4

Finely cut the small white onions. In a bowl, mix the peas with the onions and olive oil flavored with garlic and basil.

Step #5

Add salt, pepper and drizzle with Bouteillan olive oil.

Step #6

Decorate with some basil leaves and some pink garlic flowers.
