Seared Peas



Lately I've been digging on a snack that I'm going to call "Seared Peas". Taking a cue from "Roasted Brussel Sprouts" (the only acceptable way for me to eat brussel sprouts) I decided to throw some frozen peas into a non-stick pan with a little butter, and just let them go. Allow the peas to darken, they won't burn as long as you keep stirring through. Add in salt, and finish with cayenne pepper or Cholula/Tabasco sauce. I've also done this using a cooking spray instead of butter, and balsamic vinegar instead of using spice. The flavor is really great, and since I always keep frozen peas in the house, a really easy snack to whip up in a jif, you don't even have to thaw them first.
