Green Peas

A true capsule of natural sugar and vegetal freshness. The fresh pea begins to convert its sugar into starch the second it is picked, rapidly losing its sweetness. Haute cuisine treats it with the urgency owed to ephemeral products. A simple flash in simmering water or a light sweating in clarified butter is enough to preserve its fine membrane and the burst of its flesh. It is the perfect ingredient to bring contrast and chlorophyll green to a plate.
