Preparation of Fresh Green Peas
This is one of the most nutritious and delicious of all the legume family of foods and while peas are more nourishing and quite tasty when eaten at a certain state of development, yet, like all other legumes, they appeal more keenly to the sense of taste when cooked, and when prepared after the following formulas the cooking process is least injurious.
PEAS IN THE POD
Select of tender green peas the quantity desired, wash thoroughly, put in a covered kettle, without removing from the pod, add a few spoonsful of water, just enough to keep from sticking, sprinkle with a little salt, add small piece of buttc. Cook slowly from 12 to 15 minutes or until peas are soft, before pods open. Serve whole in a covered dish.
These can be eaten by placing the pod in the mouth and pulling it out between the teeth, thus shelling the peas and stripping the outer coating or meaty part from the pod, which is more nutritious and a better balanced food than the peas.
