4 Substitutes for Frozen Peas in Asparagus Soup
1. Edamame (frozen, shelled)
Ratio: 1:1
Slightly firmer and nuttier - more protein than peas. Excellent in rice dishes and stir-fries.
2. Broad beans (frozen, shelled)
Ratio: 1:1
Creamier texture with a more distinctly earthy, vegetal flavour. Need slightly longer cooking.
3. Sweetcorn (frozen)
Ratio: 1:1
Sweeter and crisper - changes the flavour profile but adds similarly bright colour.
4. Chopped sugar snap peas
Ratio: 1:1
Crunchier and sweeter - better in dishes where you want texture to remain.
