This spread is an ode to the first mess of peas, welcoming in the summer season! You can use fresh or frozen peas depending on what is available to you, or even switch them out with cooked chickpeas, navy beans, or lentils. The miso here imparts a rich umami flavour, perfectly complimenting with the sweetness of the peas. I love adding just a tablespoon of the hemp seed parmesan to bring even more depth to this rich-tasting yet light spread.Β
