Imagine you are in this scenario....You are mildly hung-over and you need to make an appetizer for another party you're attending. You only had 5 hours of sleep, you woke up with gut rot and a sore back, you're incredibly tired but you can't get back to sleep. You spent your day lazing around doing nothing at all really because you don't feel like it. You need to leave for your party in 90 minutes and you still need to 1. have a shower 2. make your appetizer 3. Make yourself pretty. If you ever find yourself in this scenario this is the appetizer you should make. Not only is this fast but it's simple and delicious.
Nigella lists making this with canned peas but let me tell you, canned veggies do not pass these lips. At least not knowingly. I picked up some frozen organic peas and cooked them up - they turned out great. Also the other side note here is that I used a whole clove of garlic when Nigella lists only a half...this was mostly due to laziness on my part of not wanting to cut a clove in half when I could just pop in the whole thing. Plus I like garlic.
The ratio of work put in to taste reward here is about 1:9. Very little work, very big reward. Next time you need a tasty app and have very little time or enery this recipe is for you. And no you can't really taste the peas.
