Sweet Pea Puree with Jalapeños

Roast the jalapeños directly over a gas flame or under the broiler, turning, until charred all over. Transfer to a small bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let cool. Peel, seed and coarsely chop the jalapeños.

In a blender, puree the jalapeños with the peas and water. Transfer the puree to a medium saucepan.

Cook the puree over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until piping hot, about 3 minutes. Stir in the butter, season with salt and serve.
