Herbed Cardamom Peas image

Peas (frozen or canned), on their own, are not one of my favorite vegetables but they are convenient to have on hand. This recipe dresses them up and adds flavor which I find otherwise lacking. I have only prepared this with frozen peas, but assume it would work just as well with the canned variety.

1 1/2 cups peas
water, to cover peas for boiling
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Place the peas in a saucepan and cover with water.

  • Sprinkle the spice mixture and parsley over them and mix well.
  • Remove to serving bowl and top with the chives (if using); serve immediately!
