Simply Delicious: Peas with Lemon and Ginger |
Recipe adapted from Eat Greens
At last, the spring veggies have sprung! Local Farmers’
Markets are starting to pop up, and the weather is dry and balmy. Springtime
veggies like chard, kale, spinach, cauliflower, broccolini, and tiny new
carrots are on the menu, as well as winter relics like beets, oranges, and
lemons. Plus the quintessential springtime veg: peas. Snap peas, also known as
Chinese pea pods, are young peas that are small and tender enough to eat pod
and all. Get ‘em now, because as the peas mature, the pods toughen and can’t
be eaten.
