Lavon and Miss NiNi talk about peas.

ITALIAN PEAS

These peas have received “yummy” reviews and they are easy.

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
16 ounces frozen green peas (could also use fresh when available)
2 tablespoons chicken stock*
salt and pepper to taste

Heat olive oil over medium heat in skillet with lid and large enough to hold peas. Stir in onion and garlic; cook about 5 minutes. Add frozen peas; stir in stock. Cover & cook until peas are just tender, up to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot.

*I keep a jar of Tones Chicken Base in the refrigerator. You can make any amount of chicken stock that is needed. It keeps well. A bouillon cube, canned stock or homemade all work well. Just water could also be used.
