Comments: 8/25/2020 - I didn’t have shallots, so substituted mushrooms. The peas came in a 12 oz bag, and they were thawed by dumping them in boiling water. I used the juice of 1/2 lemon, but forgot the salt. Gail liked it.
10/29/2023 - Once again, I substituted mushrooms for shallots and used a 12 oz bag of peas. I used the juice of a full lemon.
8/9/2025 - I greatly simplified this time, heating frozen peas in the microwave and then topping them with shaved parmesan cheese.
