Bright Green Fresh Peas

Steaming fresh peas is a good cooking method to use for bright green peas with a crisp tender texture. Clean and prepare the peas for cooking and follow the easy steps below.

• Add water to saucepan so it is below the bottom of the steamer basket and bring to a full boil.
• Place the steamer basket with peas in it into the saucepan, making sure no water is coming up through the holes in the steamer.
• Cover saucepan and allow them to cook for 2 minutes.
• Remove the steamer basket from the saucepan.

Peas should be crisp-tender when done and bright green in color. Pour peas into a serving bowl, season with salt and pepper, and add a little butter for extra flavor and serve while warm.
