Field Peas and Corn Salad
with Erin Detwiler
Mike went to the farmer's market this past Saturday with a short list - mushrooms, berries, and surprise me. To my utter astonishment he came home with field peas (I was hoping for fresh cut flowers but, hey, peas are awesome). We've probably all had them at some point, but have you ever cooked them? I hadn't. It was SO easy.
First, I shucked them. Then I boiled them in veggie broth for 15 minutes. This made them pretty starchy and I love them that way. If you want a crisper pea, you can blanch them for five minutes and then cool them imediately; I think I'll try that next time.
I happened to have two ears of fresh grilled corn in my fridge so I cut off the kernals and used that as well. The ingredients are below. I just tossed them all together. Enjoy on a bed of lettuce!
Ingredients:
2 Ears Fresh Grilled Corn of the Cob
1 Cup Field Peas, cooked and cooled
1/2 sweet union, diced
5 Roma Garden fresh summer tomatoes
Two Carrots, Chopped
1 small crisp green apple
French Vinagrette to Taste
Salt and Pepper to taste
fresh rosemarry, chopped
fresh thyme, chopped
fresh sage, chopped
A dash of agave
