Italian Peas

If my Mom is reading this she probably thinks she's stumbled onto someone else's blog. I hate peas. I've always hated peas. Well, frozen peas. The canned ones are passable, but the frozen ones have never appealed to me. They actually make me gag, and are the one ("normal") thing that I truly don't eat. I even like brussel sprouts, when cooked well. However, I recently bought a bag of them thinking that my 6 month old might like them. He doesn't. SO, in an effort to not waste them, and get them out of my freezer, I'm trying this recipe (from allrecipes.com)

Italian Peas

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 16 ounces frozen green peas
• 1 tablespoon chicken stock
• salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in onion and garlic; cook about 5 minutes. Add frozen peas, and stir in stock. Season with salt and pepper. Cover, and cook until the peas are tender, about 10 minutes.

The result...well, the peas were edible. I'd say for a pea recipe, it was good. I won't be running to the store to buy another bag of peas, but if I happen to have another, this is how I will cook them. My 3 year old and 6 month old both ate some of them, but I wouldn't say anyone "gobbled them up".
