Green Peas

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Gather peas just before cooking for better flavor.

  2. Shell the peas and cook them immediately in enough water to create a rich gravy.

  3. If the peas are very young and tender, wash the pods, scald them in the cooking water, then remove the pods and add the peas.

  4. Cook until the peas are tender and enjoy the sweeter flavor from the pod juices.
