We all make the same things, but this one is easy and really tasty:)
Peas are on the sweet side, but when you add the other ingredients it
becomes more savory. I use the small peas, I am not a fan of large starchy ones.
You can use it for sandwiches or on crackers. I like to make it chunky,
but you can blend it for a smoother texture! I use frozen peas which is great, because
you can always have them on hand.
