Fresh peas with ham and garlic
Peas, ham and garlic are three flavours that really go well together. This simple recipe combines all three as a great side dish, add a little pasta and you have a superb supper.
It is ideally made using fresh peas but is equally good with frozen baby peas. I would not use minted peas for this, though that's a personal preference.
