Lemony Green Peas In A Pod Recipes

SUNNY'S 5-INGREDIENT LEMON AND CHEESE PEAS

Steps:

• In a pan on medium-low heat, add the olive oil (or butter), garlic and lemon zest. Cook, stirring, so the garlic and zest can steep without browning, about 5 minutes. Add the lemon juice, thyme, a pinch of salt and a few more grinds of black pepper than you normally would. Move the contents of the pan around a bit more while cooking, until the thyme is darker in color and the pan is fragrant, about 5 more minutes.
• Add the peas and toss to warm and coat, about 4 minutes. Pour into a serving dish and top with the cheese.

LEMONY GREEN PEAS IN A POD

Steps:

• Place 1/2 cup water and the salt in a large skillet. Squeeze juice from each lemon wedge into the pan, adding the lemon wedges as well. Bring water to a simmer over high heat, add the peas, and cover. Simmer until the peas are bright green, about 1 minute.
• Remove the lid from the skillet, and continue to simmer until almost all the water has evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Add olive oil and garlic, and salt and pepper to taste; mix well to combine. Cook, stirring often, over high heat until the peas are completely cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat.
• Add mint, and toss to combine. Transfer peas to a serving platter, and serve warm.

LEMONY GREEN BEANS AND PEAS

Steps:

• Add green beans to a 3- to 4-quart pot of very well salted boiling water, and cook, uncovered, until barely tender, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Stir in peas and cook, uncovered, until beans and peas are tender, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, put butter and zest in a large bowl.
• Drain vegetables in a sieve and add to bowl. Toss until well coated with butter and zest.
• Season with salt and pepper.

PEA PODS WITH ONION
