(Inspired by “Sand Dunes,” p. 220, Cornfields to Codfish)
Much like Bill’s mom June loved to taste fish without a lot of interrupting ingredients, I like to treat peas the same way: simply. When I met Bill and we started cooking together, we often boiled frozen peas as an easy accompaniment to meals that we cooked together. While boiled peas are tasty on their own, Bill’s English method of adding a sprinkling of dried mint to the pan as they boil gives them a gentle nudge of additional flavor.
