Directions

The book gives no cooking times; the times in the steps were added in transcription, so check for doneness rather than trusting the clock.

  1. Shell the green peas.

  2. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.

  3. Add the peas and cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. Drain and serve warm.
