A few people in the comments are asking about Jacques' pea pod soup recipe. Here it is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpLXZISnnZt9iMksi=P6DDc0QmIPJ4R-aY

He knows exactly what smelling the grinder will do and he still does it every time. Legend.

Rustic practicality as always. Jacques continues to share his mastery with us ❤

And Peas are my favorite vegetable, too? Steamed or cooked Lettuce is delicious. It's nice and sweet. Thank you !!

J,adore les petits poids a la Francaise, merci Chef Pepin

[@giovannirojas3952]

Jacques sure does love his peas. 🥰 🫛

[@stateniland]

I always throw some pasta in with the peas and greens and make it my dressing with boiled shrimp

[@kqed]

Pasta is always a great idea.

Simple fresh and delicious.Happy cooking!

Horror story from my 1950s childhood. Mom was away, Dad was cook. He was a decent cook but we had a new fangled device called a pressure cooker and he decided to try it out for the first time on fresh from the garden peas. You can only imagine the horrid result, we both learned!

[@JaneDoeDoeDeeOhDoe]

And thus, mushy peas were born! 😄

[@roncaruso931]

A great healthy side dish from the master.

[@jcompton3947]

I like when he smells his grinder. I like to smell things too. Love from Canada ❤

What an awesome recipe transforming boring peas into the new favorite! And the presentation is just the way I like it - a friend sharing with me something special! ❤

Jacques Delicious recipe. Thank you for sharing. Stay well. From Southern California with love ♥️

[@chak595301]

Looks tasty! Speaking of greens, two of my favorite videos from Jacques Pépin are the “Fridge” soup and salad, respectively; the peas in this episode is another way to enjoy for lunch or dinner!

Le maitre et ses petits pois a la francaise.

[@Linda7647]

Looks amazing. But the best flavor in the world is popping open those pods and eating the peas raw, right out of the shell. When I grew peas, most of them never even made it inside my house because I would sit outside and pick the pods off the vines and eat them right there.

[@GianniAbbenda]

I was thinking the same thing….that certainly brings back wonderful memories. Cheers from Ottawa Canada 🇨🇦

Don;'t waste the pea pods. Separate into 2 pieces and steam. A great pea pod SALAD with other greens, beet and radish matchstick slices, ... all is good !

i wonder if you could use spinach instead of lettuce?

Why not?

I think Jacques has also published a video where he makes a soup from the shells. Waste nothing!

[@mr.zardoz3344]

Stock?

[@andrewward3752]

@@mr.zardoz3344 my recollection is he simmer the shells in some stock, then ran them through his food mill to strain out the fibrous bits. Added some cream and voila! Might have been some potato to give it some texture, can't remember

A most peculiar dish, maybe use small sweeter salad onions instead of regular onions?

[@kqed]

That would work.

[@jb8915]

What would you know about work commie. You want the state to pay your bills

[@roncaruso931]

You are telling a master chef how to cook?

[@j.s.2419]

He does mention that the classic version uses tiny onions at 2:10. I think he's all about using what you have ,which I can appreciate!
