Very tasty! I made this as written using frozen petite peas and definately one I will make again and again. Thank you! Made for TOTM Diabetes forum.

Wasn't sure I wanted to be this heavy handed with my delicate garden fresh petit pois but it was lovely. I'll do it again next year. I used olive oil and roasted red pepper.

Love these! I added a little sugar, since I think peas ought to have a little sweetness. Very good, thanks for sharing!
