Our Top Pea Tips 

  • Defrost some peas and whizz them up with some natural yoghurt, mint, lemon juice, ground cumin and chilli for a delicious dip 
  • Add a sprig or two of mint to peas when cooking to liven them up 
  • Add some peas and seasoning to a thick pancake mix (omitting any sugar) and serve with a poached egg on top for brunch
