Frozen peas for the win!

Nearly everyone has a bag of frozen peas in their freezer! (Although I think only a special few of us have 3 bags, all opened, one of which is upside down so it is slowly filling the bottom of the freezer with a little frozen ball pool of peas!)

Frozen peas are a weeknight side dish staple, they are so quick to cook and instantly add a wonderful healthy green element to the dinner. Plus many kids seem to love the sweet peas!

This pea mash is just as quick to make and turns the humble pea into something a little different.
