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.
