Green Pea Medley - Protein-Rich and Delicious!

I often get asked what recipe I recommend for someone just starting out cooking vegan recipes. I highly recommend this recipe. It is loaded with good plant-based protein, vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Plus, it is easy to make!

Learn to cook basics and you'll be ready for any occasion. I mean you should learn to cook soup and stew in the beginning. I’ve got to tell you – I prefer the relaxed approach to cooking. I like to chop up the vegetables, throw them into the pot, and pour myself a glass of wine. Do not take me wrong, I love to experiment in the kitchen and cook decadent foods and guilty pleasures but most of the time I prefer to cook healthy and simple meals.

I love spring peas, carrots, peppers, and tomato and it is fascinating how great the blend of these vegetables tastes. I've just seasoned my dish with a little salt, black pepper and paprika. I often make this dish in springtime but I also use frozen peas, which is available throughout the whole year.
