Pea Tendrils with Crimini Mushrooms and Leeks

This vibrant pea tendrils with chestnut mushrooms and leeks sauté is a wonderful way to celebrate delicate spring flavours. The sweetness of the softened leeks provides a mellow base for the earthy, sautéed mushrooms, while the pea tendrils add a fresh, grassy note and a beautiful aesthetic to the plate. It is a sophisticated yet simple vegetarian side dish that works well alongside a variety of main courses or as a light topping for crusty, toasted sourdough.

Quick to prepare and naturally gluten-free, this recipe is an excellent choice for those seeking a nutritious, vegetable-forward meal. Chestnut mushrooms offer a deeper flavour than standard white mushrooms, pairing perfectly with the buttery garlic finish. Serve it immediately while the tendrils are perfectly wilted to ensure the most vibrant green colour and best texture.
