Notes
- Don't over-salt the peas, you can always add more salt when serving. Plus, salting them too early can dehydrate them.
- Don't skip the dill. Peas and dill really go great together, and this dish just isn't the same without the dill. I recommend fresh dill for the most flavor.
- Let the peas cool, then transfer to a shallow, airtight container and store in the fridge. Properly stored, your sautéed peas will last for 3-5 days in the refrigerator!
- Transfer leftovers to an airtight container and store in the freezer for up to 6 months.
