Frozen peas
Sweet green peas frozen at peak ripeness. Often fresher-tasting than 'fresh' peas that traveled days to the store. They're blanched before freezing, so a minute or two in hot liquid is enough.
Used for
- stir-fries
- soups
- fried rice
- pot pies
In the kitchen
- Add straight from frozen.
- Blanch briefly.
- Stir in at the end.
Picking it at the store
- No need to thaw first for most dishes. Add them frozen directly to a hot pan or simmering liquid.
- Skip bags with visible ice crystals or clumping, signs of thawing and refreezing.
