Description
A quick and easy method for cooking frozen peas that preserves their bright color and natural sweetness.
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen peas
- 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper (optional)
Instructions
- Place frozen peas in a colander and rinse briefly under cold water to loosen any ice crystals.
- In a medium saucepan, add 1 tablespoon of butter or olive oil and heat over medium heat.
- Add the peas to the pan and stir to coat with the butter or oil.
- Cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until peas are heated through and tender.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, then serve immediately.

- You can also microwave the peas with a bit of water for 2–3 minutes as a quicker option.
