Very NICE way to dress up a side of peas! Peas, carrots, corn and broccoli/cauliflower are my usual staples when it comes to vegetables, & the more I can jazz them up, the better. The combination of orange & almond flavors makes for a great-tasting dish! Many thanks, to you ~ I'll be keeping this on file!
