Recipe tips You can thaw the peas by putting them in a sieve and pouring hot water from a kettle over them, or defrosting them in the microwave. You can also serve them separately if you don’t want to scatter them over the tray. You can use beef, lamb or chicken sausages instead of pork but you will probably have to pay a few pence more. Choose your largest oven tray so that everything fits easily and cooks evenly.
