Fresh peas are a treat,even though they require that little extra preparation, shelling. When buying peas at the market, • choose bright green pods, that are crisp and well-filled, but, not bulging. Bulging ppds in- dicate peas are overmature and so will be tough and starchy. For best flavor and maximum food value, buy only enough peas for immediate use. Three pounds of peas in the pod yield about 1 pound or 3 cups shelled, which is enough for 6 servings, Peas should be shelled Just before use. Green and yellow wax beans are also known as ggsnap beans". "butter beans" or "string beans". By any name, they are certainly delicious. At the market, choose crisp, clean, fairly straight beans, that are free from blemishes. The pods should be uniform in size with well-formed seeds. Overmature beans have enlarged seeds and they may be tough, woody and stringy. Beans are not quite as perishable as fres.h peas. They will keep fresh in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for a few days. Wash and prepare them just before using. One and one- half pounds of beans will serve approximately six. Although fresh peas and beans are good served plain with butter, salt and pepper you may find a few simple additions, such as herbs, heighten that fresh flavor even more. Home economists, suggest adding one of the follow- ing to the peas or beans at the beginning of cooking: 3/4 cup sliced celery, 2 to 3 table- spoons chopped onion or fresh chives, 2 or 3 bay leaves. The bay leaves should be removed before serving. Every week more and more people discover what mighty jobs are accomplished by low cost Brussels Post Want Ads. Dial 887-6614— MRS.
