Charred English Peas with BC Spring Greens and Garlic Scape Dressing

By Chef Deniz Tarakcioglu

June 3rd, 2021

Ingredients:

1lb English Peas, in shell
200mL assorted fresh spring greens
50mL parsley leaves, chopped
300mL garlic scapes, sliced
50mL almonds, roasted
50mL parmesan reggiano, finely grated
3 garlic cloves, roasted
50mL lemon juice
75mL extra virgin olive oil

Instructions:

Turn your grill on high, or heat up a heavy grill pan on medium high heat. Toss the English peas in olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Transfer the peas on the grill and char until puffy, around 2-3 minutes each side. In a food processor, combine roasted garlic, lemon juice, garlic scapes, almonds and parmesan, and blitz until semi-smooth. Drizzle the olive oil slowly and adjust seasoning. In a medium sized bowl, transfer the greens, add the garlic scape dressing as desired and serve with charred peas.
