Marrowfat Peas

Isabella Palmer's take on Iranian ash reshteh made with English marrowfat and split or naked yellow peas is a comforting noodle soup that makes the most of the creamy sweetness of British-grown marrowfat peas. Serve topped with tangy dairy, fresh herbs and crispy onions (the ready-made kind are very convenient). Classically ash reshteh has sour yoghurt stirred through before serving, but Isabella prefers just using sour cream or crème fraîche as a topping. 

These marrowfat pea croquettes make a perfect starter or canapé, a nod to classic British fish and chip shops - especially when served with tartare sauce and pickles!
