5 - Peas On Toast
Mushed peas don’t necessarily have to be mushy peas: this peas on toast recipe, made with toasted French baguette,
makes a fantastic bruschetta when serving nibbles or a starter. Topped with feta cheese and sensationally seasoned
with pesto, garlic and cayenne pepper, this is a delightfully simple yet impressive dish.

6 - Pesto Peas
The combination of pine nut kernels, fresh basil, parmesan cheese and garlic is delicious as it is, but the addition of peas lends this dish a sumptuous sweetness as well as a delicious green colour. You could try serving this as crostini at a party, topped with sliced mozzarella, tomato halves and fresh basil for a Caprese salad style twist.
7 - Pea and Chicken Jambalaya
Chicken jambalaya is a great dish to batch cook in preparation for the week. Filled with nutrients, spices, and sweetness from the peas, this is a filling and tasty dish to heat up for a work lunch or for a big family dinner. If you want to make this into more of a paella style dish, you could add king prawns and top with fresh parsley.
