To properly celebrate spring, cook peas. Here are 24 original recipes to cook them and think outside the box.
You might be tempted to eat the peas as is, adding a little herbs and spices to enhance their flavor. Once the “enhance the bowl of peas” operation has been completed, you will enjoy them as an accompaniment to meat, fish or to complete a pasta salad. However, peas can be cooked in many other ways! In stew, cream, soup, falafel, bagel, cheesecake or even panna cotta, you are not at the end of your surprises…
Hot or cold, peas enhance all dishes
The advantage with peas is that they can be enjoyed both cold (ideal for a quick meal when working from home) and hot. Anything else? These are the ultimate spring vegetables! Eaten at this time of year, you will enjoy their subtly sweet taste and their texture that is both tender and crunchy. To add a little “je ne sais quoi” and sweetness to your dishes, don’t skimp on the peas.
