green peas are made of this

Our green shelling peas are already flowering, and so I am really looking forward to harvesting fresh green peas to shell and enjoy. I love them fresh, and have a habit of eating more than I pop in the saucepan, but those that do survive my very well be treated to the following recipe!

Easy Peasey!


Peas in Milk and Mint

Serve with boiled new potatoes

2 cups of milk
2 tablespoons of butter
2 cups shelled fresh green peas
Salt and pepper to taste
A few mint leaves, freshly chopped

  1. Heat the milk and butter in a saucepan over a medium heat until hot, but not boiling.
  2. Add peas, salt and pepper, and gently simmer until the peas are bright green and soft but not mushy.
  3. Remove from heat and add the mint leaves. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
