Summer Peas Recipes

SUMMER PEAS

Steps:

• Spread the lettuce in the bottom of a large pot, add the peas and sugar and dot with butter. Cover the pot and set over medium heat. Cook for 6 to 7 minutes; uncover and test the peas -- they should be bright green and tender. (If not, continue to cook, checking every 2 minutes.) Stir; season with salt and pepper.

YUMMY SUMMER PEA SALAD

Steps:

• Toss peas, bacon, raisins, Cheddar cheese, onion, and sunflower seeds together in a large bowl. Stir mayonnaise, vinegar, and sugar together in a small bowl; drizzle over the salad and toss to coat.
• Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.

SUMMER PEA PASTA

Steps:

• Heat 1 tbsp oil in a frying pan and cook the garlic and chilli for a couple of mins until very lightly golden. Stir in the zest.
• Cook the pasta, adding the peas for the final 2 mins. Drain, then tip everything back into the saucepan. Tip in the garlic, chilli and lemon, scraping in any bits stuck to the pan. Tear in the basil, season and add the remaining olive oil. Stir well.
