Recipes and Tips
Pea tendrils, available both as living and cut versions, bring versatility and vibrant flavor to your dishes. The living pea tendrils, harvested fresh and juicy, can be added straight from the cress, providing that garden-fresh sweetness to your salads, wraps, or sandwiches. They’re perfect for tossing into a salad where their slightly sweet bite shines. For a light sauté, just cook them gently like spinach, adding a bit of soy sauce, sesame oil, or lemon juice will highlight their natural sweetness.
On the other hand, cut pea tendrils offer convenience and are just as adaptable. They’re pre-cut and ready to go, making them ideal for garnishing a plate or adding to soups, pastas, or roasted vegetables. You can toss them with roasted potatoes, sprinkle them over a pasta dish, or even pair them with fresh shellfish for a refined dish. Their fresh, nutty flavor and delicate texture also make them perfect for pairing with creamy cheeses, bacon, or even mushrooms in a savory dish.
Both versions bring out the sweet, slightly earthy pea flavor, whether you’re opting for the freshness of living pea tendrils or the ease of the cut variety. You’ll enjoy their buttery texture and ability to elevate everything from light salads to more substantial dishes. Experiment with them in soups, omelets, or atop a warm crostini for a surprising, vibrant flavor boost.
