Incredible Smashed Peas and Broad Beans on Toast
England is famous for its mushy peas, so to celebrate this great little vegetable I’ve decided to do my own take on the whole mushy pea thing. This is the kind of food I love to cook and eat outdoors, especially when the sun’s out. All my friends who have tasted this have absolutely loved it – so I know you will too.
