- 4 spring onions, roughly chopped
- 1 cup light coconut milk (we used Trident)

- 2 tablespoons Thai green curry paste
- extra fresh mint leaves, peas, sliced chilli, fried onion, toasted sesame seeds, to garnish

Instructions
1 In a large blender or food processor place peas, onions, coconut milk and ½ cup water and blend mixture until almost smooth.
2 Add baby spinach and fresh mint with half of the stock, and blend mixture until smooth.
3 In a large heavy-based pan set over medium, heat olive oil and add Thai green curry paste. Cook for 30 seconds. Add pea mixture and the remaining stock. Cook, stirring, for about 2-3 minutes, or until heated through.
