Boiled peas

Measured by weight; no spoon or piece conversion.
Instead of Boiled peas
Frozen peasUse the same weight. Add straight from frozen and simmer for 3–4 minutes, or thaw if the dish is already cooked; they are sweeter and fresher than pre-boiled peas.
Freshly cooked peasUse the same weight. Boil shelled peas in salted water for 4–6 minutes until tender, then drain; texture is closest to boiled peas.
- Green pea
Use the same weight of shelled green peas. Boil for 4–6 minutes before adding, or add raw to a curry and simmer 5 minutes longer.
