Sugar Pea Pod Prep

This is a follow up to the pea pod disaster I wrote about the other day. Recall they were inedible because they were tough and stringy.

We found a YouTube on the web showing how to remove the stems that sounded promising. After removing them, we tried eating them raw. We couldn’t do it. In fact, that little mound of what looks like chewed pea pod on the counter in the YouTube we made is exactly that.

We tried steaming them after removing the stems (or maybe it was boiling). I don’t think it matters. We still thought they were inedible. Maybe we’ll try the frozen variety.

Any advice?
