Other way of cooking

- boiled green peas - bring water to boil in a sauce pan and add the peas. Cook for about 3-4 minutes (check the packaging depending on which peas you bought). Drain, season with salt, olive oil and lemon juice and serve.

- how long to steam - place the peas in a steamer basket and cover. Once the water starts boiling it will take about 3-5 minutes for the peas to be cooked through. You can season them also with olive oil, lemon juice and salt.

- roasted peas - roast in the oven at 200°C / 390° for about 20 minutes.

If giving to baby and worried about choking then smash the peas. Also remove salt from the recipe for kids under 2 years old.
