I found this recipe in one of my favorite recipe books, but altered it slightly to fit my family's tastes. I received rave reviews, and in fact it is the very first time I have ever seen my 6 year old daughter eat peas! :-) We are a family of 5 and had enough for leftover lunch the following day. I served this dish with a tossed green salad and fresh french bread.
