Cooking Tips

• Be careful not to overcook the peas, as they can become mushy.
• If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but reduce the quantity as they are more potent.
• Feel free to customize the herb mixture based on your preferences. Basil, dill, or tarragon would also work well in this recipe.

Storage and Serving

• Herbed Spring Peas are best served immediately while they are still vibrant and fresh.
• If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, gently warm the peas in a skillet over low heat, stirring occasionally.
