Make the most of Great British Pea Week from 3rd to 9th July
With barbecue meat often hogging the limelight this month, give peas a chance this ‘Great British Pea Week’, which runs from the 3rd-9th July. Small and mighty, super-sweet and incredibly versatile, peas have become synonymous with the plant-based trend, their powerful protein fuelling so many of the vegan meats and treats now on the market. A great side for all manner of dishes, why not give them VI-Pea status and put them centre stage this month? It could be a very on-trend pea ice cream, a punchy pea pesto, cold pea gazpacho, pea & prawn risotto or an easy-peasy pea & asparagus salad.
