When combined with fresh mint & mint sauce the peas will have a lovely flavour.
It’s easy to make and ideal when:
- Served with many meals like ‘bangers and mash’
- Shepherds pie, roast meats, etc.
Peas are 1 of your 5 vegetables per day and a good source of vitamins C and E and Zinc. Similarly mint is also good for you with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. But the lovely benefit of minted peas with mint sauce is that it tastes great.

How to use the minted peas
The flavour goes great with lots of different meals. I especially like it with sausages and mashed potatoes or shepherd’s pie. But it’s also lovely for roast meats, chicken, etc.
Fresh mint will make a real difference.
Fresh mint leaves add real flavour to many recipes, like the minted peas with mint sauce recipe.
You can buy Fresh Mint in many shops (for example you can Buy it on Amazon)
But it’s also very easy to grow at home.
For example the After eight mint on the right.
- Was planted from a plug plant
- Grown in a pot (to stop it taking over the garden)
- And ready to use withing 30 days.
- And will keep growing and growing
If you want to grow your own mint at home then all you need is a plug plant and a pot.
But do note the different mint types all have a unique flavour (Orange mint, Spearmint, Apple Mint, etc.).
