Spring Onions with Peas, Purple Sprouting and Asparagus (2-6)

This recipe from Diana Henry makes a delicious vegetarian or vegan supper for 2, or will feed more if served as a side vegetable. I like to serve it with a fried egg, or some burrata cheese to accompany, but these are optional.

Crispy vegetarian cakes for burger buns from Nigel Slater. Or you could serve then for breakfast with a fried egg alongside.

Peas with Pancetta (6-8)

These vegetables from Nigella Lawson’s ” Nigellissima” could also be used as a sauce for pasta or in a pasta and vegetable soup if you have leftovers. You could leave out the bacon but if you do use a couple more tablespoons of garlic oil, and extra chopped shallot and some veg bouillon powder for more flavouring.

This is from ” The Five O’clock Apron” , the first book by Bristol based chef and food writer Claire Thomson. With this book her aim was ” to inspire parents stuck in a teatime rut” by ” preparing healthy fun and flavoursome food”. This recipe certainly hits the spot.

Pasta with Peas and Pesto (2)

A recipe from Nigel Slater. He suggests as a variation tearing and folding in some mozzarella or burrata at the very last minute. And you could always use ready made fresh pesto to speed things up.
