Top 5 meals to have sugar snap peas with

Sugar snap peas are a really versatile vegetable, as they go with almost everything and can be eaten raw as well as cooked. You can eat sugar snap peas with whatever meal you like, but here are some ideas to help get you started:

Roast dinner

Roast dinners are one of the nation's favourite meals, and while sugar snap peas may not be the most obvious choice of vegetable, they undoubtedly bring freshness and sweetness to the plate. If you are having a roast, why not boil or steam some sugar snap peas to go with your joint and roast potatoes. If you are a seasoned roast dinner eater, you may welcome a change, especially if you are stuck in a rut of having broccoli and carrots every week.

Fish

Sugar snap peas are a perfect accompaniment for fish suppers, as they can perfectly compliment most types of fish, including salmon, cod, haddock and tuna, and are also very healthy. You can steam or boil your sugar snap peas and they will be ready to serve after just a few minutes. Sugar snap peas also go very well with fish pie.

Cottage pie

Cottage pie is a classic British dish, which is especially popular in the winter months when it's cold and dark outside. Sugar snap peas will taste great, either as an accompaniment to the meal or as an ingredient in the pie. Some people prefer to add their peas into the pie, while others prefer them on the side.

Lamb chops

Lamb chops are very popular and sugar snap peas are a great side order. Sugar snap peas are sweet and fresh and they go perfectly with succulent lamb and mint sauce. Steam or boil the peas for a few minutes and then serve.

Dips and crudités

Sugar snap peas can be eaten raw and if you like to eat the pod, as well as the peas, this provides the perfect accompaniment for dips and foods such as humus and guacamole. This is an ideal snack, a great starter or a perfect light bite.
