Summary
This recipe is more of a technique than anything fast and firm. Add shallots or garlic scapes, substitute any fresh herb you have on hand, and get a fresh side dish on the table fast. (Note: You can substitute 1 (10-oz) package frozen peas (not thawed) for shelled fresh peas. The cooking time will be shorter.)
