fresh peas
(1 RATING)
This is how I cook fresh beans and peas. A very good friend of mine, Addie, told me the secret of cooking vegetables. When cooking vegetables, remember to start anything that grows under the ground in cold water (potatoes, carrots, beets, turnips, etc.). Anything that is grown above the ground is started in boiling water (peas, butter beans, and greens. I miss you Addie.
