For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice just before serving. If you prefer a smoother consistency, you can use an immersion blender to partially puree the peas. These mashed peas pair beautifully with roasted lamb, grilled fish, or as a vibrant addition to a vegetarian plate.
