English Peas with Butter and Sorrel

For 6

During the Spring I am always thinking of what I can
cook around peas.  Shelling peas can be looked at as a
chore but once I have begun I find it to be a relaxing
experience especially sitting around the table with a
friend or two.


1 1/2 pounds English peas, shelled
2 tablespoons butter
Few leafs of sorrel, rough chopped
¼ cup water or stock
Salt and Pepper

Melt butter in a medium sized sauté pan on medium
heat.  Add peas and sorrel.  Cook for a minute and add
water.  Bring to a simmer and cook for a minute or two
more.  Season with salt and pepper and rush to the plate.
 For a deeper long cooked flavor later in the season cook
peas for 20 to 30 minutes more adding more water or
stock along the way.
