Tips:

  • Prepare the peas properly: Shell the peas by removing the outer pod. If using frozen peas, thaw them before cooking.
  • Cook the peas briefly: Peas only need a few minutes to cook. Overcooking will make them mushy.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like mint, basil, or thyme can add a lot of flavor to peas.
  • Serve peas immediately: Peas are best served immediately after cooking. They can be served as a side dish, added to salads, or used in soups and stews.

Fresh green peas are an incredibly versatile and delicious vegetable. They can be enjoyed in a variety of dishes, from simple side dishes to more complex entrees. With their sweet, delicate flavor and bright green color, peas are a welcome addition to any meal.
