Boiled Peas
Place shelled peas in boiling (unsalted) water just to cover. Simmer 8
to 10 minutes if very fresh, depending on the size of the peas, and
drain. Truly fresh green peas need very little cooking time. If they
will be chilled and used in salads, they can be cooked 1 or 2 minutes
less. Older peas may require up to 15 minutes cooking time. Very old
peas may never become tender.
