Peas

In shelling green peas great care should be used that no dirt or bits of pod mix with them, as peas lose so much of their sweetness by washing. Put the peas in warm water, only enough to keep them from burning, season with salt to taste; then cook slowly; if young they will be tender in twenty minutes. When done, stir in enough butter to make them quite rich, and serve with roast lamb.
