Spring is here; do you have delicious sweet peas coming up in your garden? You'll want to try this simple and flavorful side dish!
Here's what you'll need:
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1-2 tablespoons fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 cup fresh peas
- pinch of salt
Heat the butter over high heat until melted and skillet is hot. Saute ginger, onions, and peas for 2-3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium low, add a pinch of salt, and let cook slowly for about five minutes.
*Tip: If you are new to eating "real" foods, I highly recommend you read the book Food Rules: An Eater's Manual by Michael Pollan. He explains what real foods are and why you want to be sure you're eating them, all in an easy to understand format. One of his most quoted statements is "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants." I've read several of his books, and they are all good, but Food Rules is easiest to begin the real foods journey with. Great inspiration and information!
We recently served these peas alongside a brown rice and quinoa mixture, with grilled chicken being the main course. Delicious!

This looks wonderful… we love sweet peas! I will definitely give it a try! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Kristy! And I enjoyed your guest post over at FAR today!
Gingered peas…that looks good. And a little different from how I would normally think of preparing peas. When people start sharing asparagus and pea recipes, I get a little giddy. Spring foods. Yum.
Ann, thanks for stopping by
I’ve been on a ginger kick lately and thought I’d try the two together. I’m with you, when it comes to peas and asparagus, I get happy, too!
I just love fresh peas and am so happy to see folks use them. To many times people rush to buy forzen peas – - – even when they are in season! This recipe looks luscious.
Love,
Mary
