They're so cheap but they're so awful. What a pity.

Wha???

Frozen peas are one of the more forgiving frozen veggies.

Toss some in boiling water with garlic cloves until tender, strain, then apply an immersion blender with freshly chopped mint. It's one of my favorite sides with a thick pork chop.

Green peas? Like English peas? Bacon grease and salt.

- Peel two taters and cut into chunks.
- Add peas to pot,
- Add water
- Add half teaspoon salt
- Add half teaspoon sugar
- Add Tablespoon veg oil
- Add Taters
Cook until Taters done
- Make fish sticks on cookie sheet in oven follow directions
- Make whole kernal corn same way as peas except no taters and use butter not oil.
- Make Kraft Mac and cheese in blue box
- Make Ice Tea

Perfect Grandkids Dinner!

Substitute frozen chicken nuggets for fish sticks for alternate meal plan

Substitute frozen steak fingers for third alternate meal plan.

I usually cook them briefly in some chicken or vegetable broth and they taste good.

Funny you should mention this. I just saw this episode of Laura Calder's French Food at Home and she was cooking :

Pea-Green Soup

It took me forever to find this pic, but here is pea puree utilized with pork. Admittedly, the sear on the pork was lame, but I did nail a perfect 145 midrare.





Slice off a tender morsel of pig or grab a chunk of roasted veggie and dip that into what started as frozen peas. You'll change your mind in a hurry.

I think you'd have to try pretty hard to frick up some green peas.

Make carbonara. Throw peas in at the end.

Delicious. Adds a little health to the bowl of cheese, bacon, and egg.

Make sure you don't over cook them. I like to dip them straight into an ice bath if you boil them to halt the cooking process.

Are minted peas an english dish? Idk they are awesome though. I like mine with shallots and a light red wine or balsalmic vinaigrette.
