Josh Eggleton makes the most of vibrant, fresh green garden peas with this simple side dish recipe. Keeping some peas whole and blending some gives a wonderful mix of textures, and the addition of garlic butter, mint and shallots adds a subtle flavour, perfect for serving with classic fish and chips.
