Asparapeas!! Pan Sauteed Asparagus Peas Recipe
It's one of those mysterious alchemies of food that asparagus and peas go together so well. This recipe is only possible for a very short time during the growing season when you can get fresh peas and fresh asparagus at the same time (some years the seasons don't even overlap!). I was lucky this year, and the farmers market near where I work had both asparagus and peas at the same time, so we took the opportunity.
It's a super simple and delicious recipe. There's not a lot to it. Just a rough chop on your chervil (or tarragon if that's what you've got on hand), and a dash of some flavourful liquid at the end. We prefer lemon juice, but dry vermouth, white wine, or even a bit of rice wine vinegar will work in its place. The dish is a great side for grilled meat or fish, and should be served as soon as it's done.
