Ingredient of the Month: Spring Peas
Finally, its spring and starting to feel like it! Tulips are popping up all over the city and the grass is green as can be! May also marks the kickoff to the Green City Market, which means fresh, seasonal ingredients from our local farmers! This month Chef de Cuisine Alex Shalev will be cooking up spring peas. They are in season and the perfect addition to spring salads and entrees!Facts About Peas
* There are four types of peas - green, sugar snap, snow and black eyed peas.* Some societies frown on diners who push peas onto their fork with a knife - etiquette suggests using only a fork.
* When picking out peas, look for a bold, green color. Avoid peas that have dark, soft spots.
