This is a fantastic recipe that is so quick and so simple and uses our reliable friends the frozen peas, which work really well here. Great with fish, meat or even as a vegetarian dish with a big dollop of butter on top.

Loved it! Had something similar in Scotland this summer while on vacation and loved it. Found this recipe and it was a great success with the whole family! Helene, Canada
