Fresh peas are sweet and tender enough to eat raw but can also be prepared cooked. Boil fresh peas briefly, drain and mix with coriander, garlic and Parmesan for sandwiches or as a dip. Toss fresh peas with lettuce, vinegar, radishes, chopped walnuts and goat cheese for a spring salad. Cook chopped onions, potatoes and peas in vegetable stock, then puree into soup and serve with fresh mint.
