This section provides a list of tasty pea recipes that have been eaten and enjoyed by us, our families and friends plus links to recipes on other websites. It is aimed at helping you to find some new and exciting ways to eat your peas, because peas are one of the most eaten veg in the UK and it's about time we did more than just boil or steam them.
We struggle to grow enough peas to satisfy our own love of them and they are the only veg we keep in the freezer to eat out of season. When they are ready to pick I like them best straight out of the pod, there really is nothing like it. We like peas so much they have a place on the Christmas table with the sprouts, a recipe covered below. They are more versatile than most of us realize so be adventurous and have a go at something new.
Happy eating!

Easy Pea(sy) SoupSoup is one of the easiest foods to make and as frozen peas are almost as good as the fresh ones you can have this soup all year round. I confess we usually have it with fish finger croutons, missing from the picture - sorry Lou, and the flavour combo is just fantastic. Give it a go.
Mama's SaladThis salad is a bit of a meal in one as it has plenty of protein in it. It is easy to assemble and needs preparing in advance so makes a great dish to serve at a party. This dish leaves you free to do other things till it’s time to eat.
Peas and SproutsPeas and sprouts are not something you see on the menu together in one dish very often however both vegetables benefit from the addition of a little crispy bacon so why not put all three together. If you aren't a sprout fan, served like this, they may go back on the menu for you.
This recipe for pea and Feta frittata is one that Simon and I made up when we wanted a quick lunch. We were both suprised how quick it was to cook and just how tasty the flavour combination was.
Deep filled minted pea and pancetta tart
