Pea's mild, slightly sweet flavor and soft texture make them a popular vegetable.There are a lot of ways to cook peas.Peas are good with a wide variety of herbs and spices.Depending on whether your peas are fresh, frozen, or canned, you can use different cooking techniques to achieve the best flavor.
Step 1: Peas can be boiled in water for 10 minutes.
Bring the peas to a boil by filling a pot with enough water.Put the peas in the water and let them cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they are tender.Adding salt to the water before boiling can make peas tough and slow down the cooking process.Salt may cause the water to boil hotter, which may reduce cooking time.It can add some flavor to the peas.If you want to experiment with salt, add 2.5 to 5 grams of salt to 1 US quart of water before boiling.Adding a pinch of sugar to the water will make the peas sweeter.
Step 2: Peas can be drained once they are cooked.
Once the peas have achieved their desired texture, pour them into a strainer.All the cooking water should be drained.Small peas can get stuck in the larger holes of a strainer, so it may be better to use a mesh strainer.
Step 3: Cook the peas with butter, salt, and pepper.
Add butter and peas to the skillet.Sprinkle some salt and pepper on it.To distribute the salt and pepper evenly, stir the peas and spices with a spatula.If you like aromatics, you can add them to the butter and then add the peas.You don't need to cook the peas for more than a minute or two since they are already cooked.
Step 4: There is a pinch of fresh herbs.
As the peas are cooking, add in some fresh herbs to make it taste better.If you want more punch, increase the amount by a small amount.Before you add the herbs to the dish, bruise them with your fingers and make sure the peas are off the heat.Mint is a sweeter herb to add to the peas.Try parsley, basil, and other herbs for a more assertive flavor.If you use an herb with a stronger flavor, such as Rosemary, add it earlier in the cooking process to make it easier to cook.
Step 5: If you want more spices, sprinkle them on before serving.
Because of their mild flavor, cooked peas go well with a wide variety of seasonings.Add some dried seasoning to your peas when you are ready to serve them.There are a few good options such as caraway, mustard, and allspice.If you want to flavor your peas, you can use a vinaigrette, a dressing, or an oil like sesame or olive oil.
