Ingredients

  • 1 pound sweet peas fresh or frozen
  • 6 cups water and salt for cooking peas (I use 2 teaspoons salt)
  • 1 shallot peeled and diced finely
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt adjust for your diet
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

FOR THE TOASTED WALNUTS:

Instructions

TOAST THE WALNUTS

  • Add up to 2 teaspoons oil to a large non stick fry pan.
  • Add the walnuts and use your fingers to coat the nuts with the oil.
  • Turn on the stove to medium heat. Toast the nuts for 5 to 6 minutes until lightly brown. Transfer to a bowl.

Simultaneously bring the water and salt to a boil. Once the water boils add the peas and cook 1 to 2 minutes. Drain.

    Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the frying pan.

    • Saute the shallots 2 to 3 minutes. Season with a dash of the salt and black pepper.
    • Add the dill, reserving a small bit for garnish if preferred.
    • Add the drained peas. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix.
      Note: I used all of the recommended salt and pepper
    • Add the toasted walnuts and mix/toss to coat.
    • Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with fresh dill if preferred.
    • Serve with your favorite entree. Enjoy.

    Notes

    Adding salt to the water will not make this dish salty and that is because the water is discarded.
