One of the things we grow in our garden is field peas. Looking for a simple recipe that relies on the field peas' natural flavor, then this recipe is for you. There's only three ingredients necessary: field peas, salt and butter. Feel free to modify the salt and butter to your taste.
Rinse your fresh peas.
Add your water and peas to a saucepan and bring to a boil.
Simmer for 20 minutes. Make sure your lid is ajar about half way to prevent the water from completely steaming away.
You should have about 2 tablespoons of water left when done. Remove from heat and drain.
Add butter and salt to taste.
