What is Pea-Carrot Garnish?
Pea-carrot garnish is a simple vegetable side made from peas and small pieces of carrot, usually boiled until tender. It is a familiar combination in home cooking and prepared vegetable mixes rather than a dish tied to one particular origin.
The peas are soft and slightly sweet, while the carrot adds gentle sweetness and colour. Serve it alongside roast meat, fish, rice or potatoes, or stir it into a salad or pie filling.
