I’m not a big fan of peas, but these were actually very good! Light & fresh tasting…
6.22.20 … https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/45604/lemon-pepper-peas/ … Uhhhh, o-kay. I up & upped, as everyone did. ‘Thought there might be magic, but there wasn’t. ‘Sure was quick & easy.
Thanks, Jane, for this easy side dish with so much flavor and quickly put together! Allows the cook to concentrate on a more complicated main dish if needed. Lifts peas up to a higher plane yet keeps it simple.
Very tasty. Gives peas a little oomph!
Nice change from eating unseasoned frozen peas – I didn’t cook as directed, though. I decided to make this recipe after I had already placed the peas in a saucepan with water to cook like I usually do. I added the butter and seasonings to the water, so the flavor was diluted. Next time, I will probably cook like usual again (I don’t like to use the microwave to cook things), but pour out most of the water after they have cooked for a few minutes, then add the butter and seasonings.
A quick and easy side dish! Plus it’s a great way to perk up peas! I used a steam in bag of petite peas so there was no need for the additional water. I used Land O Lakes light butter and seasoned with the lemon pepper and dill basically eyeballing until I got the flavor I desired.
I like cooking peas frozen rather than thawing first & deleting water in the recipe. I think the flavor is better when done in this manner. The recipe is one I’ve used for yrs & always great, especially with fish entrees!
A really good little side dish so you don’t just have frozen peas. Quick and easy.
Lacking lemon pepper, I used fresh ground pepper and three packets of ‘Real Lemon’ crystallized lemon. I also added 3/4 of a tsp kosher salt. Very flavorful.
Just did a trial run for Thankgiving and these will definitely be on the table. I made recipe as is, but added additional dill and lemon pepper after tasting. So few ingredient, so easy and so, so tasty.
It was good–a nice flavor for serving peas. The lemon pepper and dill go very well together. I used peas that were still frozen with only a tsp of water, put the butter and spices in at the beginning and microwaved for 4 minutes.
I’m always looking for new ways to season vegetables and I’m glad I tried this recipe. I melted the butter in the microwave, stirred 1/4 tsp. each of the lemon pepper and dill weed into the melted butter then added it to the peas. Delicious!
Delicious and so easy!
These were NOT GOOD. It made the peas (just purchased) smell old and the lemon pepper flavor did not go well with the dill.
I assume I didn’t use enough spices, but both me and my fiance both agreed these tasted like peas with butter. Maybe if they were cooked longer in the spice, and not microwaved. I will use more spice next time, if I make them again. But mostly I’ll just make peas with salt, butter and pepper. Simple is sometimes best.
These were simple, tasty and light. I think using frozen peas keeps them from being mushy. I added a few grinds of sea salt and a little extra lemon pepper.
These were nothing special. A slightly different way to serve frozen peas, While I will probably make these again (it’s certainly an easy enough recipe) I don’t know if they are worth the extr calories from the margerine.
Very tasty and easy to do. I’ll keep this one around.
Pretty good. I added carrots for color and nutrition. I also cooked it on the stovetop. I used 1/4 tsp. lemon pepper and 1/8 tsp. dill. I would recommend doubling that because the seasonings were a little too subtle.
Nice side dish, the lemon pepper was a nice change from the normal just salt and pepper. I did make it on the stovetop instead of microwaving it, I think it takes just as long to throw stuff in a pan as it does to microwave it, but that’s just me.
Wow! I’m so glad I made this. It’s awesome; I could have had just peas for dinner. Here’s what I did: drained one can of peas. Put in a bowl. Added 1 tablespoon butter. Sprinkled pretty heavily with dill and lemon pepper (I had lemon pepper salt, actually). I probably used a good half-teaspoon of each. Maybe the submitter has really big fingers. 🙂 Anyway, I nuked it for one minute and stirred it to distribute the butter and seasoning. SO GOOD. UPDATE: I have since tried it with frozen peas (I only had canned the first time I made it). Even better.
