Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender peas. Avoid peas that are wrinkled or have brown spots.
  • Use a large skillet or wok. This will help the peas and onions cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet. If you do, the peas and onions will steam instead of sauté.
  • Cook the peas and onions over medium-high heat. This will help them to brown and caramelize.
  • Stir the peas and onions frequently. This will help to prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Season the peas and onions with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Serve the peas and onions immediately. They are best when they are hot and fresh.

The peas are a good source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals, and the onions are a good source of antioxidants.
