Summer Peas Recipes

SIMPLE FRESH BUTTERED PEAS (ENGLISH PEAS RECIPE)

Steps:

• Bring a saucepan of water to a hard boil.
• While waiting for the water to boil, shell the peas into a colander and rinse them. You should have about 2 1/2 cups after shelling.
• Boil the peas for about 60 seconds. When they all rise to the top, they're done. Remove them from the heat and drain immediately.
• Toss the warm cooked peas with the butter and salt.

Steps:

• Warm the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until the onion has softened and is turning translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Add the peas and cook stirring frequently about 1 minute.
• Then add vegetable broth (or water), raise the heat, bring to a boil and stir in pasta and salt (I use 1 tsp of salt and then I adjust the seasoning at the end). You might need to add or to reduce the amount of water according to the type of pasta.
• Cover with a lid, reduce the heat and cook your pasta in the starchy water. During the cooking time, you need to stir often until the water is absorbed, otherwise, it will stick to the bottom. The water should barely cover the pasta, but it's fine, add extra water gradually only if needed.
• Cook until ready but firm to the bite. Turn off the heat and stir in freshly grated parmesan cheese until melted. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
• Serve immediately with a drizzle of olive oil, black pepper, and extra parmesan cheese if you like. Enjoy!
