Angel's help is unexpectedly making a task very easy (8,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shelling peas

'a task very easy' is the definition.
(phrase meaning an easy task)

'angel's help is unexpectedly' is the wordplay.
'unexpectedly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'angels'+'help'+'is'='angelshelpis'
'angelshelpis' with letters rearranged gives 'SHELLING PEAS'.

'making' acts as a link.

(Another definition for shelling peas that I've seen is " (Easy) job in food preparation".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
