Yum! Whoever thought plain old peas could taste so good! I thought dill and curry was an unusual combination, but they really combine well. The texture was excellent! I did add the red pepper with the onion, etc. early on, because I like it cooked well. I also used chicken base in place of the bouillon. I wasn't sure if the peas were frozen, canned, etc., so I used a 12 oz. bag of steamable frozen peas that I steamed first. Other than that, I made this exactly as posted. Thanks for sharing. Made for Spring PAC 2011.

What a great way to serve peas! I liked the change from the usual & found these crunchy and flavorful. I used chicken broth instead of boullion, but followed the recipe otherwise. Served with Recipe #429758 and Recipe #427369 for ZWT6. Thank you for sharing the recipe! :-)
