February is such a hot and cold month for us in Northern California. Yesterday was warm and balmy, but this morning is windy and chilly. Ya never know what you're going to get. During this time, I like to get started organizing seeds, cleaning out the garden shed and just planning my approach to this year's veggie garden. Our garden is a major source of food for us, so with the early crops comes some serious cooking and hence, new recipes. I know...a lot of you live where it snows a lot and it's hard to think about this right now. But give it a go and please offer up some of your favorite springtime, garden recipes. (You can just pretend it's April.)
Here's a very simple recipe that we love at our house:
Fresh Green Peas with Mint
Fresh, young green peas, shelled
sprig of peppermint, or spearmint
squeeze of lemon
S&P to taste
Put all of the ingredients in the blender, or food processor and blend until smooth and creamy. Serve with chips or raw veggies.
So easy!
