PEAS
1 lb. fresh peas, shelled (or frozen)
2 tsp. butter
salt & pepper to taste
fresh mint (opt.), chopped (or another herb like chives)
Cook the peas in 1/2 c. water until tender. Drain. Add butter and gently toss until melted. Season to taste. Garnish with fresh mint if desired. Serve hot - add a small pat of butter to the top for presentation.
We also very much enjoy chilled peas or fresh-from-the-garden (or Farmer's Market) peas as a salad topping or as a simple salad of peas, onions, herbs, and a creamy dressing. They are wonderful in pasta salad or on any lettuce salad - especially when we top it with other vegetables.

Mmm, fresh peas... Delicious =)
