It's time for green peas from your own garden. There are so many empty juicy pods left after it, really throw it away? Look, they sell green beans for money, but we don't need pea pods for free? How so? After all, the benefits of pea pods are no less.
Young pea-free pods can be used in the same dishes as green beans. They can be frozen in the same way for later. Take famous recipes or come up with new ones, but keep in mind that fresh pea pods will taste much sweeter than beans. And one more important detail: when cooking, fresh pea pods are like juicy canned corn in consistency, and thawed ones, like all greens from the freezer, are dull and dull.
Rinse the pods thoroughly after eaten peas. Separate from spoiled and dry brethren. If desired, you can tear off the places of the inflorescences. If a string of fiber is pulled behind them, throw it away as well. You need to focus on the ease of cutting the pod with a knife: if it is easy to cut, then it will be soft in cooking. Such pods are also called milk pods. They look bright, dense and break easily. If they come across slightly dried, it's not scary, they will pick up juice from their fellows during the cooking process.
After that, you need to cut the pea pods prettier: larger or smaller, as you like. And boldly cook.
For example, you can bake green pea pods in the oven with tomato, onion and butter, adding spices, salt, and herbs. And to them add potatoes, rice, or cutlets, for those who like better food. Or boil vegetable soup from sliced pods, or make a puree soup. Fry scrambled eggs, scrambled eggs or omelet with pods. Stew with vegetables. And cut the pods with unripe peas into salads.
You can come up with many options for dishes from pea pods. At the same time, vitamins and trace elements are the same as in peas, but there is also a lot of fiber, which improves and facilitates the work of the intestines.
Do not dismiss the empty peas as if they were an invention of a sly goli. If you keep an eye on your health and eat at least occasionally green beans, then be sure to try pea beans as well. After all, not everything that is free means bad. And not everything that is more expensive means better.
