As a child, I never enjoyed eating peas. I associated them with split pea soup which I almost always found to be a nauseatingly mushy green mess. So, I was pleasantly surprised when I recently tried pea salad with radishes and feta cheese. The peas were vibrant green and had the perfect texture, not too soft or too hard. The peas were bursting with flavor.
Currently, peas are in season. Restaurants all over Manhattan have peas somewhere on the menu. Here are 8 heavenly recipes involving peas:
- Ham and Pea Pasta
- Fresh Pea, Baby Potato, and Sweet Onion Soup
- Chicken with Sugar Snap Peas & Spring Herbs
- Pea and lettuce puree with tarragon
- Pea and Mint Couscous
- Pea tendrils with crimini mushrooms and leeks
