Loved this recipe. At first I was iffy while cooking it because I felt it was missing something but then added 2 T of butter to the pan and loved the taste. Definitely will fix this again.

    What a wonderful way to prepare peas! I forgot the fresh ground black pepper but other than that was great! Paired very well with the Garlic Chicken Breasts (Garlic Chicken Breasts).

    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!

    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.
