Peas Recipes

Peas are a sweet, tender pantry-friendly ingredient that can brighten everything from weeknight pastas and fried rice to soups, pot pies, curries, and simple vegetable sides. Frozen, canned, split, or dried, they add color, mild sweetness, and plant-based protein to everyday recipes.

Use green peas when you want a quick-cooking vegetable that needs very little prep. They pair especially well with butter, lemon, mint, potatoes, rice, pasta, eggs, chicken, and creamy sauces.

For the best texture, add peas near the end of cooking so they stay bright and tender instead of dull or mushy. Split peas and dried peas are the exception; they need longer simmering and are ideal for hearty soups, stews, and purées.
