Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups fresh peas *see note
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
  • cup shiitake mushrooms sliced
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 tablespoon butter or vegan butter
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ground black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • If your peas are still in their pods, you will need to shuck them first.
  • Add the butter and mushrooms to a large skillet and cook on medium heat for 4 minutes.
  • Add the peas and the rest of the ingredients Bring to a boil, about 3 minutes
  • Cover and turn the heat to simmer for another 8 minutes. Serve hot.

Notes

  1. You can use fresh or frozen peas for this recipe. I do not advise using canned peas as they are salted and somewhat mushy.
  2. Use butter, vegan butter, or any light oil but I would skip any strongly flavored oils like coconut.
  3. If you do not have fresh ginger on-hand, you can substitute 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger.
  4. This peas side dish will keep up to 4 days in an air-tight container, or up to 4 months in the freezer.

SPECIAL NOTE

Please know that every gluten free flour blend has a different starch to grain ratio. If you use a blend I didn't test, you may need to adjust your moisture levels in your baked goods.
