Young green peas are the perfect light side dish for any meat, poultry, or fish dish. Sauté them in olive oil or butter with lemon zest, garlic, and thyme and serve sprinkled with grated Pecorino cheese. Cook the peas over low heat, being careful not to let the garlic and zest brown, as this will make the oil bitter.
