Rehydrate the Peas: Place the desired amount of freeze-dried peas in a bowl or container. Add enough warm water to cover the peas completely. Allow them to soak for about 5 to 10 minutes or until they become soft and rehydrated. Gently stir occasionally to ensure even rehydration. 2. Drain Excess Water: After the peas have rehydrated, drain off any excess water. You can use a strainer or colander to remove the water thoroughly. 3. Cooking Methods: - Boiling: In a saucepan, bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the rehydrated peas and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes or until they are tender. Cooking time may vary depending on the desired texture. For firmer peas, cook for a shorter time; for softer peas, cook for a longer time. Drain the peas after boiling. - Steaming: Fill a steamer pot or a saucepan with a small amount of water. Place the rehydrated peas in a steamer basket or colander and position it over the boiling water. Cover the pot and steam the peas for about 5 to 7 minutes or until they are tender. Adjust the steaming time based on your preference. - Sautéing: Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add a small amount of oil or butter to the pan. Once the oil is hot, add the rehydrated peas and sauté for about 3 to 4 minutes or until they are heated through and lightly browned. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. 4. Seasoning: Season the peas with salt, pepper, and any other desired herbs or spices to enhance their flavor. You can add a pat of butter or a drizzle of olive oil for extra richness. 5. Serving: Once the peas are cooked to your desired tenderness, remove them from the heat and serve immediately. They can be served as a side dish, added to stir-fries, mixed into rice or pasta dishes, used in soups or stews, or incorporated into salads. Always ensure the peas are fully cooked before consumption. Enjoy your cooked peas made from rehydrated freeze-dried peas!
