Today we picked a nice basket of peas and then set about looking for a recipe for them. In the past, my peas ended up in stir fry, but I wanted to try something different. Google to the rescue!
I'm not usually a huge pea pod fan. I mean I like them in my stir fry, I'll eat them fresh straight out of the garden, but that's about it... Or it was until I tried them cooked this way. Here's the Rachael Ray recipe for Sugar Snap Peas with Onions and Bacon from the Food Network web site. They were so good I had to go back for seconds!
The flavor of the pea, bacon and onion combination kind of reminds me of pea soup. I make mine from dried green and yellow peas with ham and vegetables.
We had the peas with garlic/honey chicken cooked on the grill and a baked potato.
LOL, I just realized that the cooked pea pods match my Kawasaki! (required motorcycle content)
Erik, you had me at the bacon ... no Nija green required!
ReplyDeleteThe bacon makes it sooooo good!
DeleteI like my peas best raw as a snack and/or with a dip, but I have to admit, it looks delish. So... you also grow bacon and chicken in the garden, eh? ;-)
ReplyDeleteWe really wanted to have a small chicken coop with 4 or 5 female chickens, just for the eggs. But we live in a small, but very rural housing development that's controlled by an HOA (home owners association), Nancy asked about chickens and they told her NO!... I think we should have just done it and if there was a problem, the chickens would have ended up in our freezer. The closest full time resident in our area is a half mile away. With no noisy roosters, no one would have known were had chickens...
DeleteThey do match your bike. Happy accident?
ReplyDeleteI too like peas straight from the garden or chopped in a salad.
I kind of figured you and Brad would be the least likely to try them with bacon... but that's cool, I totally understand.
DeletePhotos of and words pointing toward the enjoyment of pea pods are always welcome here....just so you know! Looks more than tasty Erik and has summer written all over. Enjoy!!
ReplyDeleteGoing to try this! It works with brussels sprouts too!
