3-Minute "Healthy Sautéed" Green Peas

Garden Peas have been shelled and are widely available frozen. "Healthy Sautéing" Peas is a revolutionary way to enhance their mildy sweet flavor while, at the same time, increasing the likelihood of retaining more of their health-promoting nutrients. (Taken from page 319 of the 2nd Edition of the World's Healthiest Foods book.)

Prep and Cook Time: 3 minutes

Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Chop or press garlic and let it sit for at least 5 minutes.
  2. Heat 3 TBS broth or water in a stainless steel skillet over medium heat if using a medium-size burner or medium-low heat if using a large burner.
  3. Watch broth closely as it will begin to steam in a few seconds.
  4. As soon as liquid begins to steam, add frozen Green Peas and cover with a tight fitting lid. and cook for 3 minutes. They should be bright green when they are done. You are cooking to warm the Green Peas as they have been cooked before they are frozen.
  5. Transfer to a bowl. For more flavor toss Green Peas with the Dressing ingredients while they are still hot. (Mediterranean Dressing does not need to be made separately.) Research shows that fat-soluble vitamins and carotenoids found in foods, such as Green Peas, may be better absorbed when consumed with fat-containing foods like extra virgin olive oil.
