Peas are the signal that spring has arrived. They are sweet green pearls that sing with butter or mint. I make this fresh pea sauce every year around this time. And, yes I do go through the trouble of buying peas in their pods from the farmer's market and shelling them myself. I think it's worth it considering I won't have them fresh until next spring. Also, nothing can beat that beautiful green color. I first paired this pea sauce with a sage beurre blanc, fresh peas and asparagus and branzino at my culinary school graduation. It was a huge hit with our guests.
