Green pea recipe roundup

So many ways to enjoy this versatile vegetable!

Picking peas was one of my favourite jobs in the garden as a kid but to my mother’s dismay, I think more peas made it into my belly than my basket. I still love peas today and cook with them often. Garden-fresh is, of course, my favourite, but flash-frozen peas, readily available in supermarkets, are almost as flavourful and equally nutritious. Here are some of my favourite ways to cook with peas; click on the titles to hop to each recipe.
