Frozen peas are a brilliant standby vegetable, and organic petits pois are probably the best you can get for both taste and nutritional value.
In Spring and Summer months, you could use finely sliced spring onions instead of the pickled onions and also some finely chopped mint leaves.
Enough for 4 as a side dish
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves of garlic peeled and crushed
4 generous handfuls of frozen organic (petits pois) peas
4 tbsp chicken or vegetable stock
10 pickled silver skinned onions each sliced in half, optional
Sea salt flakes
- In a medium sized sturdy pan, which has a well-fitting lid, heat the oil over low heat.
- Add the crushed garlic and stir for a minute or so.
- Raise the heat to medium and add the frozen peas, the stock, the onions, if using, and a pinch of sea salt flakes and stir well.
- Put the lid on the pan and let the peas cook gently until tender (about 3 or 4 minutes).
- Stir in the onions, if using, and serve.

If you want a healthier and more environmentally friendly diet, a good start would be to cook from scratch, avoid buying ready-processed meals, and so avoid foods with a high sugar and salt content. Have a look at food labels, you will likely be amazed by how much salt and sugar is included and, worse, how many of the ingredients are not recognisable as food.
