Peas

I harvested my first planting of pea vines yesterday, about two pounds' worth. I've been snacking on them for the last month, but the vines were dying so it was time to harvest the whole batch. The pods are rather sad-looking but the peas are still fresh (and huge! Bigger than Kix cereal!). I planted a second crop three weeks later, and those are close to harvest also.


The shelled peas were handed over to Honeybee for tossing with olive oil, shallots, pancetta, and bow-tie pasta. Very tasty served with parmesan, ricotta and mint!
