I’ve recently become obsessed with peas. I’ve never thought much about them, was never forced to eat them as a child, and therefore, have never had any sort of aversion to them (unlike many people I know), but this spring, I especially was excited about the sweet little green guys, and couldn’t get enough of them, ordering anything and everything on a menu that had them in it, including everything from peas and poached eggs, to sugar snap pea salad with brown butter and almonds. English peas and sugar snap peas are my favorites. Buying them fresh and in the pods is the best way to go…more work than the shelled peas, but so worth the effort in the end. Nothing like fresh peas to make you fully aware and conscious that spring is here.
