Our peas are so young and fresh at the moment, you can even eat the pod! Raw, it is sweet and crunchy with a delicate pea flavour. They are also fantastic in this light tempura batter…

100g Cornflour
150g Plain Flour
10gr Baking Powder
Iced Perrier or Soda Water, around 250ml to make the batter
Roughly 250g Peas in their Pods
Handful of Fresh Mint

Split the pea pods in half, removing the peas (click here for some tasty pea recipes). Wash the pods thoroughly and dry on a kitchen towel.

Only make the batter when you are ready to cook. Mix togther the flours, baking powder and water. Mix quickly, adding enough water for the batter to coat your finger. Don’t over mix it as it will get gluey – it is ok to have a lumpy batter!

Finely mince some mint and mix into the batter. Immediately dip in the pods and deep fry in hot oil. Once the batter is gently browned remove and dry on kitchen towel. Sprinkle with sea salt.

Serve with mayoinnaise or tzatziki. Click here to buy fresh peas online!
