Ok, I'll admit that most of my garden peas don't make it to the kitchen. Usually, I enjoy them straight from the vine. The lucky few that manage to make it out of the garden, up the stairs and into the house get a quick steam and a kiss of salt and pepper. While this is a completely acceptable way to enjoy the tender little morsels, I am in search of a fresh new recipe. Growing up, I never liked these little veggies and I blame that on canned peas. They ruined my sense of what a good pea should taste like. Now that I know how sugary and delectable fresh ones can be, I am hungry for new ways to prepare them. Whether it's raw, cooked, mashed, or pureed I want to hear all about the tastiest ways to enjoy this early summer treat. Calling all foodies...

Hi Emily,You have a lovely blog, loved your pictures.You are lucky you have a garden to plant peas it's very nice to be able to get your veggies in the garden. Can't get any fresher then that, right? I have this couscous recipe, http://www.chefwanabe.com/2010/05/11/fresh-peas-and-endives-couscous/. Have a nice Sunday.
ReplyDeleteThanks! That sounds great... I can't wait to try it.
ReplyDeletewho's house were you eating dinner at? Let's be clear, they were frozen, not canned, while maybe not much better, there is a difference, why is everything my fault? Just for that, no recipes for you...hahaha

ReplyDeleteIt was more a case of school lunches rather than home cooking. I don't even remember peas at your dinner table!!
not sure who anonymous mom is but that wasn't very pleasant was it?
ReplyDeleteI used to make a green pea tart but can't remember the recipe. It's peas, fromage frais(quark) parmesan and eggs in some varying quantities. I'll see if I can find it. It's a great summer tart. But hey what tart isn't great!
