Vibrant and fresh pea purée will brighten up any menu. Frozen peas make this a quick and easy side dish.
Though freshly shelled peas are optimal, thawed frozen peas are also fine.
Peas and prosciutto are a classic Italian combination made even better by this creamy pasta sauce. Orecchiette are a good match for peas because these "little ears" of pasta cup the peas so snugly. Of course, any pasta similar in size to the peas will hold the sauce and work just as well.
The classic combination of mint and peas makes for a lovely summery appetizer bursting with freshness.
Prosciutto (salt-cured Italian ham) is a nice topping for the creamy pea purée.
Creamy ricotta cheese, punchy lemon and crispy prosciutto play well with plump fresh peas.
This makes a great vegetarian main course salad or side dish served with grilled meat. Since pea shoots are not as tender as pea tendrils, they are cooked before eating.
Peas are one of the most popular frozen vegetables for a reason.
Conveniently keep a resealable bag in the freezer and you'll never be without a green side dish.
