In season for May: Peas

May brings the promise of warmer, sunnier days to come, and peas are a tasty classic that are a great way to make any dish a little brighter, too. From salads to risottos to good old fashioned fish and chips, they can just as easily be the star of the show as a super side.

We’ve got some great handy hints and inspiration so you can discover easy (peasy) ways to celebrate our ingredient of the month.

Store them

Frozen peas are probably what we’d tend to think of when it comes to storing these little green gems, and it’s a great way of keeping them to hand to add to pastas and roast dinners. Fresh peas can also be kept in the fridge, however it’s best to ensure they’re kept in a bag or container, and better yet, in the crisper drawer to keep them super fresh.

Cook them

From fresh pastas and risottos to warming soups and curries, peas are so versatile, and you’ll see them in many dishes on our menu. Why not try our delicious Creamy Pea and Onion Marmalade Linguine with Hazelnut Crumb and Chives for a tasty tea? Or how about a tasty Minced Beef and Pea Keema Curry with Cashews and Garlicky Naan – just right for weeknight dinners. If you’re looking for a traditional dish, our Classic Beef Mince Cottage Pie with Cheese and Sauteed Peas is a great way to make this seasonal vegetable shine.
