No, that’s not a typo. This week we’ve got a salsa recipe that works with either your watermelon or your field peas. If you’re like me and want to eat your field peas just as field peas this week, then hold onto this recipe if you get to the point you want to do something different with those pretty peas.
Ingredients:
Hot pepper, to taste, seeded and minced 1 tablespoon granulated sugar 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice 2 teaspoons lime zest 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger 2 cups cooked fresh field peas or finely chopped watermelon 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro 1/3 cup diced red onion
Preparation:
In a large bowl, stir together hot pepper, sugar, lime juice, lime zest, ginger and peas or watermelon. Let stand 15 minutes. Then add cilantro and onion. Toss gently and serve immediately or chill for up to one day.
