Pea, Potato, Spinach and Vegetable Curry Recipe

It was recently Great British Pea Week, and to celebrate Bird's Eye challenged me to come up with a recipe using their peas. So armed with a bag of their finest garden peas I came up with a quick and easy family meal. Frozen peas are really convenient and versatile, perfect for keeping in the freezer. Just one serving of freshly frozen garden peas and petits pois contains as much vitamin C as two large apples, more fibre than a slice of wholemeal bread and more vitamin B than a pint of whole milk – just 80g is equivalent to one of your 5 a day, making them a healthy choice.
