Welcome to our 4th week of the Fresh Produce Tuesday- today we are featuring peas. I was hoping to find shelling peas at the grocery store, but I was only able to find snap peas and snow peas today. The local farmers markets in this area don’t start for a few more weeks so unfortunately, I was out of luck in my search to find just plain peas. That’s alright though- we can showcase many varieties of peas this week! Here are 10 recipes featuring peas:
- Beef with Snow Peas from The Pioneer Woman
- Crushed Peas with Poached Salmon from Martha Stewart Living May 2012
- Fava Beans and Peas with Burrata from The Kitchn
- Fettuccine with Peas, Asparagus, and Pancetta from Annie’s Eats
- Fresh Grean Peas and Sugar Snap Peas in Sesame Dressing from Bon Appétit July 2004
- Fresh Pea Risotto from What’s Gaby Cooking
- Fresh Pea Soup from Ina Garten
- Lemon Snap Peas from a sweet pea chef
- Linguine with Pea Pesto from smitten kitchen
- Minted Fresh Peas from Leite’s Culinaria

Here’s one of my recipes for Pasta, Peas & Pancetta http://cookingchat.blogspot.com/2007/04/pasta-peas-pancetta.html.
I also really love this version of Pasta Primavera, has peas along with many other great veggies http://www.houghtonmifflinbooks.com/features/gourmet/gourmet_pasta.pdf
Thanks for commenting David- both of those recipes sound delicious!

I totally planned to make pea soup tonight! I will definitely link up once it’s made and posted! :)
Hi Sara- That sounds great! I made a pea soup a few weeks ago and my husband loved it. I’ve been on the look-out for different variations. Hope you are doing well!

These recipes look great and I love peas! I saw spring garlic in the store this week, but don’t know how to cook them/what to do with them. Any suggestions?

Hi Tracy- I think spring garlic is similar to spring onions…you can sub them for regular garlic with a somewhat milder taste. Next week is garlic scape week (which are the curling stalks of spring garlic)…maybe I should add spring garlic to the mix as well!

I have never known what to do with garlic scapes either so that would be oh so fun!
