How about peas?
Basically, let’s start with the fact that peas are a very misunderstood food! I always remember my mom, when I was a kid, trying to “lure” me into eating even a little peas. If you ask me, I honestly don’t know why… It is clearly a very good source of fiber and protein and many more vitamins and minerals (but nutritionists should better talk about all these staff). It is also a wonderful raw material with which you can make many recipes. Today we will see the classic one of course, while I reserve for many more in the future. Besides, now I can say that I love peas!
Classic or Modern?
Here is the question! I think that an average solution is the best! For me at least… So, I decided to replace the classic potatoes with sweet potatoes, which are a rich source of vitamins and minerals as well. I, also, added some more favorite vegetables, such as carrots and corn, and finally came up with a delicious recipe, very close to the one my mom used to make with some of my own variations.
