Fresh peas are so versatile that possibilities can be nearly endless. They pair well with veggies and herbs, rice, beans, cheese, grains, and more. This is a perfect example of taking a vegetable and only being limited by your imagination. Add in pea blossom and tendrils to your brainstorming, and the potential for flavorful, new, eye-catching dishes expands even further.
At the Bar: Peel and Eat!
