Prepare the potatoes
- Cut any larger potatoes in half
- Put the potatoes in a saucepan, cover with cold water, add a big pinch of salt, put the potatoes, put the pan on the stove, bring to the boil and simmer for 12-15 minutes until the potatoes are tender. For the last 2 minutes of cooking, add the peas to the pan with the potatoes.
- Pick the basil leaves
- Peel the garlic
- Halve the lemon and squeeze the juice into a food processor, catching any pips in your free hand
- Add the basil, pine nuts, nutritional yeast, garlic and olive oil to the food processor and blitz into pesto
- Taste and season to perfection with salt and pepper
- Add the pesto and vegan mayonnaise to a mixing bowl and stir to combine
- Add the garden peas to the pan of potatoes and simmer for the last 2 minutes
- Drain the potatoes and peas with a colander and shake to get rid of as much water as possible
- Transfer the potatoes and peas to the mixing bowl and fold into the pesto to coat
- Sprinkle over the rocket and serve immediately as a flavourful side
