They can really start delivering for flavor, for color, for excitement, and not be the boring bit on the side.
partly because I think most people have got a packet of frozen peas in their freezer.
Most people quite like peas, but they don't get super excited about chasing them around the plate after they've finished the lamb chop.
And so my invitation is to get them into the middle of the dish and let them be the hero.
I mean, I'm a huge fan of fresh vegetables and lots of the vegetables I suggest, the things you will generally buy fresh.
But frozen peas, let's be clear, that's not an ultra-processed food.
A tin of beans with no sauce, but just in a little bit of brine, which you can crack open and tip into any curry or soup, anything saucy, again, that's not an ultra-processed food.
These are natural ingredients, minimally processed or fresh.
And they do everything for you that Sarah has been talking so eloquently about.
If you just take those dozen vegetables, for most people, just to bring half of those in or most of those in over a couple of weeks, all accessible most of the year round, you've already upped your diversity within the realm of things that are very familiar, inexpensive, and accessible.
And hopefully by delving into the recipes, you've upped the taste and flavor and excitement around them too.
Nobody likes a homegrown fresh garden pea more than I do.
But if you can't get them out of the pod within a few hours, the sugars start to turn to starch.
And actually, if you're buying whole fresh peas in the pod, even at your local farm shop, if they were picked yesterday and certainly the day before...
they will not be as sweet as frozen peas.
If you want an incredibly dependable ingredient that you can come back to that's always going to taste sweet, that's got almost completely nutritionally intact as well compared to a fresh pea, frozen peas are a brilliant product.
If it's lost its flavor, it's probably lost some of its goodness.
Well, I think peas are a brilliant ingredient in a soup.
Fry an onion, maybe a carrot, add a bit of stock, add half a bag of peas, blitz it in the blender.
If you put a pinch of curry powder in, just a pinch when you're sweating the onion, it gives a lovely warming flavor.
