These are my favorite type of pea. They are cream 40s. We call them “little green peas”. I am a lucky girl and my dad brings me bags of these shelled every summer. I blanch and then freeze them. I also see them at my local farmers market in the summer. My family enjoys them all year long. My grandmother always made them with rice and served it in a bowl with a little butter. Boil water then add the peas then boil on high for 15 mintues then lower to a low boil for an additional 45 minutes. I add sea salt to taste with a little butter and a pinch of sugar.

Yum!
