FIRST SNOW PEA HARVEST - 15 October 2012

I have been waiting since last spring to make this delicious meal and I was so glad to find sufficient snow peas in the garden to make it.  It is so easy and doesn’t take much time at all.  We’ll be eating more snow peas later in the week as they are growing so incredibly well at the moment.  I only used broccoli, snow peas, mint and coriander from the garden, but as time goes by, I’ll be able to make this enitre dish using the required veges from my garden (with the exception of avocado which I don’t grow).  Inset picture illustrates my first snow pea harvest.

If you don’t grow snow peas, I definitely suggest you do.  They are so easy to grow and so incredibly delicious!
