I am safekeeping this pea recipe, which was published in Cooks Illustrated. I am also posting separately variations of this recipe that do not have mint but adds other ingredients. Recipe #395445 uses ham and chives, Recipe #394919 uses mushrooms and thyme. Any recipe from Cooks Illustrated can be trusted. The painstaking testing process used produce sure winners.
