Big Peas and Little Peas

This recipe is a side dish suggested for Crunchy Chicken Schnitzel, an America Makes Dinner recipe brought to you by Laurie David and Kirstin Uhrenholdt. 

Big Peas and Little Peas is a fun name for a side dish veggie. And if the kids choose to eat just one of the two types of peas, that's okay, they're still eating peas!

Prep time: 5 min Cook time: 4 min Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • 1?2 pound sugar snap peas
  • 1?3 cup water
  • 1/2 tablespoon butter
  • 1 pound frozen peas, defrosted
  • Salt and pepper and a grating of nutmeg
  • Fresh mint, parsley, or chives (optional)

Preparation

  1. Remove the tips and tails from the sugar snaps, and if they have a string, pull that off as well.
  2. In a medium pot, bring the water to a boil, adding the pat of butter. Throw in both kinds of peas, cover with a lid, and boil for 3 to 4 minutes.
  3. Drain the peas and season very lightly with salt and pepper. Toss with the herbs and nutmeg. Serve right away.
