Ingredients
Cook Fresh Green Peas
- 1½ Cup green peas *See Notes
- water To Boil
To saute
- 1 small onion
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil Extra Virgin
- 1 Tablespoon butter
- pinch salt to taste
- ¼ Teaspoon black pepper
- parsley fresh Fresh garnish
Instructions
If you use fresh shelled green peas (skip this step if you use frozen or canned)
- Shell your fresh and raw green peas. Collect your peas in a bowl and measure them.
- Pour water and vinegar to your green peas to rinse them. The vinegar will help get rid of tiny bugs and pesticides (if any). Strain.
- Place green peas into a smaller sauce pan and cover with water. Boil the peas for about 5 minutes covered over a medium heat setting or until they are cooked through.
Prepare buttered peas
- Dice your onion and keep aside.
- Heat up a small skillet with olive oil and the butter. Keep over a lower heat setting.
- Stir in onion and sauté until soft and somewhat translucent.
- Stir in the green peas and season with salt to taste and the black pepper. The salt quantity depends on your butter and if you used salted butter or not.
- Mix and cook for about 2 minutes over a higher heat setting.
- Turn off the heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve up hot.

Notes
- Fresh peas are preferred, but you can use canned or frozen and thawed peas too. Use the same quantity for all three options.
- If you use already cooked frozen or canned peas, reduce the prepping time by 15 minutes and the cooking time by 5 because they are already cooked.
