Dried Green Peas are a delicious source of veg protein. Apart from adding them to your stew and soups, making a salad with other veg is a delicious way to enjoy them.

Ingredients

250g whole dried peas
500g carrots
50g fresh mint
Juice of one lemon

For the dressing

olive oil
salt
lemon juice
mint

Instructions

Soak the dried peas overnight - or quick-soak by placing in boiling water, taking off the heat and leaving for 1 hour. After soaking , rinse, place in a pan with plenty of water, bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 45 to 60 minutes until tender. Adding baking powder when soaking will result in softer cooked peas. Leave the cooked peas to cool down before mixing it with the veg.
