Cooking Frozen Peas

BEFORE COOKING:

Remove the frozen peas just before cooking, do not thaw.

COOK:

Place them into boiling salted water (about 2 teaspoons per 1 liter of water). It is also advisable to add a light pinch of salt (about 1 teaspoon per 1 liter of water). Cook for 5 minutes. Start timing from the moment the water returns to a boil. Halfway through cooking, milk can be added. Cook with the lid on – this reduces cooking time and minimizes vitamin loss. To check if the peas are cooked, take a few and taste them.

AFTER COOKING:

After cooking, drain the peas and rinse them with cold water.

SERVING SUGGESTION:

Peas make a great accompaniment to meat, poultry, or fish. When serving, you can sprinkle chopped parsley and drizzle melted butter over them. Alternatively, drizzle with olive oil, lemon juice, and grated Parmesan cheese.
