Peas – Use frozen green peas for this recipe. They are firm and will soften in minutes. Butter – Salted, sweet cream butter is a rich and flavorful butter that gives you just enough deliciousness to the peas that is not overbearing. Sugar – I know it sounds weird, but it won’t make the peas too sweet, I promise! Garlic – Use fresh, crushed garlic for optimal aroma and flavor.
Don’t boil! Just don’t do it. I know the package tells you to, but don’t. Trust me. Add a little sugar to the peas. Just enough to enhance the natural sweetness of the peas. It’s ok, it won’t taste weird and it will bring out the natural sweetness. Don’t add salt until ready to serve. Salting them too early can dehydrate them and they (obviously) won’t be as sweet. Salt them after they have cooked and you can salt to taste.
Cream– For a creamier texture, add a splash of heavy cream. If you want really creamy peas try our creamed peas recipe. Onion – Add a little bit of minced onion during the cooking process. Lemon – Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the finished product. Parmesan Cheese / Parmigiano Reggiano – Sprnkle on a little fresh Parmigiano Reggiano over the top
