Take this to work in a thermos flask and it will stay hot or chilled, depending on how you prefer to eat it.

NUTRITION NOTES

The peas add substance to the other vegetables and are a useful source of iron and fibre, including soluble fibre, which helps regulate cholesterol levels. Don't worry that the peas are frozen - they are frozen as soon as they are picked, so (unless you are picking straight from your garden) they are generally nutritionally richer than fresh ones.
