Think of mushy peas like British hummus. It’s literally just mashed up beans and you can dress it up however you like.

I like mushy peas on toast with sliced tomato, salt and pepper and a drizzle of toasted sesame oil.

Mushy peas are boiled marrowfat peas, which have a completely different taste and texture to mashed garden peas.

They’re delicious though, and very filling, especially served with chips or other carbs.
