Tips:

  • Choose Fresh Peas: Select fresh, tender peas for the best flavor and texture. Look for peas that are bright green and have a slight sweetness when tasted raw.
  • Blanch the Peas: Blanching the peas briefly in boiling water helps preserve their color and crispness. It also removes any unwanted starchiness.
  • Use Good Quality Olive Oil: Opt for extra virgin olive oil for its superior flavor and health benefits. Extra virgin olive oil has a lower acidity level and contains more antioxidants.
  • Toast the Walnuts: Toasting the walnuts enhances their flavor and adds a nutty aroma to the dish. You can toast them in a pan over medium heat or in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes.
  • Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh dill adds a bright, herbaceous flavor to the dish. You can also use other herbs like parsley or mint if you prefer.
  • Season to Taste: Don't forget to season the dish with salt and pepper to taste. This will help balance the flavors and make the dish more enjoyable.
