Fresh English Pea Salad
- 1 lb fresh English pea (usually still in the pod)
- 1 bunch of fresh mint
- 1/2 bunch arugula
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- salt and pepper
- 1/4 lb pecorino cheese
- Remove peas from pods. Bring a pot of very salty water to boil. Add peas and boil for about 1 minute, just until color changes to a consistent bright green. Remove and cool in ice water or under running cold water. (The cold water stops the cooking and keeps the peas bright green.).
- Wash and dry mint and arugula. In a bowl, combine peas with mint and arugula. Add juice of 1 lemon, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Shave half of the pecorino onto a cutting board and reserve. Shave remaining pecorino, chop, and add to salad; toss. Taste and adjust seasoning with more lemon juice or olive oil as desired.
- 3. Serve immediately, topped with reserved shaved pecorino cheese.
