Simple Peas

Normally something this simple wouldn’t make the FoleyIsland Recipe page, but there isn’t a week that goes by that we don’t use our ‘go to’ veggie. The simple petite pea. We always have a bag of organic petite peas in our freezer.

Ingredients

Frozen Publix organic petite peas

Onion powder

Dried basil

Fresh ground pepper

Margarine (we use Earth Balance soy margarine)

Saran wrap

Directions

Pour peas into a bowl

Dust lightly with onion powder

Slice a THIN knife full of margarine (1 tablespoon?) on top of the peas

Sprinkle on dried basil, maybe 1 teaspoon.

Sprinkle on a pinch or two of fresh ground pepper. We always have a small cup of fresh ground pepper on the counter.

Cover with Saran wrap

Microwave for 2 minutes for a large bowl, 1 minute for a small bowl. Let it rest, your peas should not wrinkle.

Enjoy!

Great with any rice dish or a baked potato. Hmm, may need to do the baked potato next.
