Just made it! Got a bunch of Pea Vines from our local farmer's market. It's delicious but am wondering about some of the more fibrous stems. I'd like to hear a step on prep before cooking.

Hey there Leigh! Thanks so much for checking out my blog post and leaving a comment! I'm thrilled to hear that you also enjoy the deliciousness of Pea Vines from your local farmer's market. They're such a tasty treat!
Now, let's talk about those fibrous stems. You're absolutely right; some of the stems can be a bit tough, but no worries – there's a simple prep step to make them tender and delightful before cooking.
First, take your fresh Pea Vines and give them a good rinse under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Then, grab a bunch of the shoots and gently snap off the tough ends. You'll notice that the tender part of the stem will easily separate from the fibrous part – usually, it's about an inch or so from the tip. Discard the tough ends (you can compost them if you like) and repeat this process with the rest of the Pea Vines.
Once you've snapped off the fibrous ends, your Pea Vines are all set to be sautéed! Follow the recipe on the article I posted (https://www.lifeslittlesweets.com/sauteed-pea-shoots/) for the sautéing part, and you'll have a delicious dish on your hands.
I hope this helps! Enjoy your sautéed Pea Vines, and feel free to ask any more questions if you have them. Happy cooking! 😊🌱
