Serve sprinkled with a little extra chopped chilli, parsley and lemon zest.
PEAS
If you can get them really immature, you can eat them pod and all. Really fresh pods are bright green and have a satiny look about them. The older the pea, the more cooking it will need so taste while cooking. Why not add a few mint leaves and a spoonful of sugar as they cook?
