Peas cooked with sage add a delicious flavour, far less predictable than mint. Last time I cooked this was with a roast chicken and it was went great.

I made this for Thanksgiving, and everyone said they liked it, but nobody gushed over how good it was. I used precooked Italian sausage instead of bacon, because I found the recipe after I'd finished shopping, and that's all I had. Next time, I'll use bacon, or at least add the sausage with the peas instead of with the onion.

    These were really good. I felt that the bacon flavour got a bit lost though. All in all, it was nice to serve boring peas in a new exciting way. I may try adding the bacon already cooked at the end. Thanks for expanding my horizons!

    Wow! I used a package of frozen green beans instead of the peas and the flavor was just incredible. The second time I made these I added a can of sliced new potatoes (drained) and that was wonderful too. I will make these again!!! I will have to try it with the peas too.

    I made this to go with our Christmas dinner, everything was great, but to my surprise these peas were the big hit of the night. Peas?! How could this be you say? I have no idea, but my husband hates peas and took his obligatory "try me" bite to be polite and my jaw dropped when his eyes widened and he said "mmmmmmm! make these again anytime you want. My veggie and pea hating daughter said, "wow mom, these peas aren't that bad". Major major compliment coming from the girl who hates anything green. The only change I made was adding a bit more than 1 tsp of sage, adding some pimientos to the sauteed veggies and finishing the last 3 minutes or so with a shot of dry sherry and pat of butter. This is most definitely a keeper, thank you so much!
