One of my neigbour had a birthday last week and we wanted to make a beautiful surprise for her as the building dwellers. Everyone would prepare something. One of our friends would take over a birthday pastry. One of our friends would take over beverages. Appetizers are necessary for the beverages. Everyone would prepare a different appetizer and we would meet at the door of our neighbour who had a birhday at 20.00. I decided to prepare Pea Salad a different local flavour as an appetizer. I started to prepare it before the meeting hour and I made it. I went to the party with this salad in my hand. When we all gathered in front of the door of our friend at the fixed time, she opened the door with a big surprise at night. We celebrated her birhday all together. Of course drinking is forbidden for me because of being pregnant. My friends drank all the night and they ate appetizers. They finished the whole appetizers. Guess which appetizer finished first ?
Here is the recipe of the favourite Pea Salad appetizer.
Ingredients:
- 500gr fresh pea
- a lemon
- 5-6 cloves of garlic
- 4-5 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cups of water
Recipe:
First of all string the peas then wash them. Cut the fresh peas in two.Put them in a pot and boil in two cups of water. When they soften, take out the peas from the pot and drain then put them on a plate. Mash the cloves of garlic in a bowl then put the mashed garlic, lemon juice, olive oil and a pinch of salt on peas then stir them perfectly. Now it is ready.
Pea salad goes very well with alcohol drinks.
Enjoy it.

Lovely salad. We’re growing peas, they should be ready by the end of the month, then we’ll be ready for pea salad.
