Peas:  I love fresh English peas in the pod, shelled and just barely cooked so the sweetness is still apparent and even just a bit of texture rather than pea “mush” that’s been over cooked.  If you find fresh peas at a farmer’s market or natural grocery bring some home and have the kids help you shell them.  It’s a fun family activity.  If not, the petite frozen peas work pretty well for this recipe.  Practice with our Sautéed Peas Recipe and you will be able to cook peas well.
