Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality peas. Fresh peas have a sweeter flavor and a more tender texture than frozen or canned peas. If you can't find fresh peas, frozen peas are a good substitute.
  • Choose a red onion with a mild flavor. Red onions have a slightly sweet flavor that pairs well with peas. If you don't have a red onion, you can use a yellow or white onion.
  • Sauté the peas and onions over medium heat. This will prevent them from burning.
  • Add a little bit of water or broth to the pan. This will help to steam the peas and onions and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Season the peas and onions with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. Common spices that pair well with peas and onions include garlic, thyme, and rosemary.
  • Serve the peas and onions immediately. They are best enjoyed when they are fresh and hot.

Conclusion:

Sautéed peas and red onion is a quick, easy, and delicious side dish that pairs well with a variety of main courses. It's a great way to use up fresh peas when they're in season. This dish is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, vitamin K, and fiber.
