Steps
Cook the peas: In a small saucepan, bring 1 tablespoon of water to a boil. Add the green peas and cook for 4-5 minutes until tender. Strain the peas and let them cool slightly.
Mash the peas: Using a fork, gently mash the peas in a mixing bowl. You want a chunky texture, not completely smooth.
Mix the spread: Stir in the ricotta cheese and unsalted butter with the mashed peas. Mix until well combined, creating a soft, spreadable consistency.
Assemble: Spread the green pea mixture onto a small whole-grain baby biscuit.
Serve: Serve immediately or store in the fridge for up to one day. This soft spread can be offered to babies on baby-friendly crackers or biscuits, helping with teething.
