Freshfrost Frozen Bezelye Garden Peas 400g

Fresh Frost Garden Peas (Bezelye) come as frozen green peas in a 400 g bag, so you can keep a spring vegetable in the freezer all year round. The pack shows a vegetable icon and the usual freezer instructions, and it is already shelled, so there is nothing to prepare before cooking.

In Turkish cooking peas turn up everywhere: in a slow-cooked olive-oil dish with carrots and potatoes (zeytinyağlı bezelye), in a meat or chicken yahni, stirred through buttery rice or bulgur pilav, or added to a pot of soup and egg dishes for colour. They also work as a simple side for köfte and grilled chicken.

Keep the bag frozen until use and cook the peas thoroughly, as the pack advises. Close the bag and use the rest soon after opening, and avoid refreezing peas that have fully thawed.
