Kelvedon Wonder
from our plotThe pea you'll find on allotments up and down the country, and deservedly so — reliable, sweet, and ready in about twelve weeks. It stays compact, so there's no wrestling with tall supports; just sow a row in the cool of spring and wait for the pods to fill.
in the kitchen
Peas on toast
Crush freshly podded peas with a fork, fold through ricotta with mint, lemon zest and a little flaky salt, then spread thick on hot toast. Spring, on a plate.
Garden pea risotto
Stir podded peas into a classic risotto in the last three minutes. Finish with parmesan, butter, and a handful of pea shoots. The colour alone is worth it.
