Grilled English Peas
Remember when everyone was going nuts for edamame in the late 90s? I mean, it was for a good reason! Such a tasty, healthy way to start a meal. Well these grilled English peas are another take on that satisfying, salty, POP. Beautiful to look at, simple to prepare, and open to the world of topping possibilities!
3 to 4 pints English peas in the pod, fresh from the farm
1/3 cup fruity olive oil
Flaky sea salt, to taste
½ cup torn fresh mint or tarragon
Other toppings suggestions: dehydrated cheese powder, togarashi spice mix, parmesan cheese, orange zest
Wash and dry the peas, and rub them down with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place the pea pods directly on a hot grill. Grill the pods, pushing them around a bit and flipping them over, until they are slightly blistered on both sides. Remove the peas from grill, then shower them with fresh herbs and additional salt and pepper as needed. Serve the peas with plenty of napkins and be sure to put out a bowl for discarded pods. Enjoy!
