We do a delicious compromise: we eat them by pulling the pods lengthwise between our teeth; that way you get only the tender tasty bits of the pod, including the delicious char.<\/p>\n

\n It\u2019s only a mild exaggeration to say that I start looking for signs of peas around mid-March, mostly by peering into the vegetable drawers of my CSA, then the shelves of my market, and then I mostly lose my mind. I love spring vegetables, yes, but
\n
\n peas
\n <\/em>
\n . They\u2019re the sweet, green, glorious reward of a long winter and I just can\u2019t get enough.\n <\/p>\n

\n Typically I just shuck them, blanch them, and serve them with butter or pesto or a salad and it\u2019s a revelation every year. But earlier this spring, I saw a picture of peas blistered in their pods, served with lemon and salt, and knew I wanted to try it. It felt a little like the
\n
\n shishito pepper recipe
\n <\/a>
\n that came before it (a favorite!), but with the distinct sweetness of peas.\n <\/p>\n

\n The recipe is simple: you toss the pods with olive oil, salt, and pepper and blister them in a hot skillet or pan, or on a grill, until the pods are tender, collapsing, and deeply charred in spots. The peas inside will be steamy-sweet, almost like butter.\n <\/p>\n

\n You just put them on a platter with lemon wedges and flaky salt and let people pull the pods apart, eating the peas inside. They make a fantastic appetizer. Do they
\n
\n need
\n <\/em>
\n a recipe? I don\u2019t know. But I also feel like these simple preparations are my favorite to share.\n <\/p>\n

\n And I suspect if you try them, you\u2019ll join me in my pea mania. It\u2019s a good place to be.\n <\/p>\n
