Pea Gravy is a simple dish, and yet a culinary delight.

It sounds so simple, to just add peas to gravy while it is simmering, and yet it hadn't occurred to anyone until 1985 when a young man Jon Tiffen, working in the Happy Hour Cafe Bassetts Pole, Sutton Coldfield, decided he would save on washing up an extra saucepan and added frozen peas to his already simmering gravy.

The result was well received by the clientele and Pea Gravy was born.

It is fair to say the infusion of the peas into the gravy and vice versa gives a unique taste, and although it has never been taken up by mainstream chefs and kitchens it has steadily gained a cult following in homes around the country.

Jon Tiffen still makes pea gravy to this day and is always keen to spread the word and recipe to fellow amateur chefs.
