Peas Recipes FAQs
How to prepare and boil snow peas?
To prepare and cook snow peas, start by trimming the ends and removing the thin string from each side to enhance tenderness. Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil, add the snow peas, and cook for 30-60 seconds until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and pat dry with a paper towel before serving
What are sugar snap peas
Sugar snap peas, also known as snap peas, are a cross between snow peas and garden peas. They have plump, rounded pods with thick walls and contain full-sized peas inside. Unlike garden peas, both the peas and the pods of sugar snap peas are edible and have a sweet, crisp flavour. They can be enjoyed raw or cooked.
How to cook sugar snap peas
To cook sugar snap peas, rinse and trim the ends before cooking. Sauté them in olive oil for 3-5 minutes, blanch in boiling water for 1-2 minutes, or roast at 425°F (218°C) for 8-10 minutes. They should be tender-crisp and can be seasoned with salt, pepper, or garlic for extra flavour.
Is it better to steam or boil peas?
Steaming helps to preserve the nutrition in peas, and this method doesn’t take much longer than boiling. However, neither method is better than the other.
Should peas be soaked before cooking?
Dried peas, like split peas, benefit from being soaked, reducing the cooking time. However, unlike some other pulses, you don’t need to soak them beforehand.
Do frozen peas need to be boiled?
No, you can simply place frozen peas in warm water to heat them up. The water doesn’t even need to be boiling. Microwaving them is another easy way to cook frozen peas.
