Fresh sweet peas announce the spring

In the Mediterranean, March and April are the best time to enjoy sweet peas shining with their luminous green. Sauteing them with olive oil and green onions is quick and easy, and you will have an appetizer or healthy accompaniment in no time. Add some bacon or blood sausage, if you'd like more proteins and a more intense taste.

Sweet peas also combine very well with asparagus as in a Catalan-style asparagus casserole recipe.

A superb herb for green peas is fresh mint, which enhances the aroma of sweet peas. And of course, if you prepare a delicious paella recipe, don't forget to add some sweet peas.
