Boiling Frozen Peas Is A Mistake. Here's The Best Method
BY Deb Kavis
Peas are the go-to frozen vegetables for many, but surprisingly, boiling them isn't the best preparation method. Instead, you should sauté them in a skillet with butter or oil.
Boiling frozen peas is a fast way to overcook your already-cooked veggies. Sauteing takes no more than 10 minutes and will yield more flavorful peas with good texture and taste.
Starting from frozen helps the peas maintain their shape and structural integrity while sauteing will keep them crisp and bright rather than turning a dull green with over boiling.
While sauteing, you can get creative and explore possibilities with your choice of seasonings and mix up your favorite butter or oil — or combine the two — to suit your tastes.
