What do you do with your fresh peas?
A landslide of peas!
We have too many because we usually plant extra, to compensate for sheep/goat escapes and the fact that peas are the first plant that deer hea for. But this year we've only had one sheep escape, and the deer have stayed out of the garden. 
Each of us eats as many raw peas as we want each day, but we still have waaay too many. We are freezing a bunch, but I wonder if any of you have some good fresh pea recipies? We've been adding them to salads, but you can only eat so much salad... 
Thanks!

I love making fettuccine alfredo with fresh peas. You could also make a tuna casserole. I wish that I had your problem. I can never seem to plant enough peas to ever get any into the freezer!

What about just a pea salad?
Boil and chill.
Add mayo and a dab of mustard to taste.
Add shredded cheddar cheese.
Mix.
Enjoy.

Creamed peas and pearl onions
Pea Salad - my mom makes a layered salad with shredded lettuce, green onions and bell peppers, peas, sour cream, bacon and grated cheese
I throw peas into stews
Peas are good in rice dishes like dirty rice and pilau
I feed them to my pond gold fish as a treat.

I am canning fresh peas this year. I have never done it before, but we don't have freezer room since we are feeding out a steer and a pig. They are very good though. However, these are white Zipper peas and purple-hull javie peas (crowder type.)

I would be canning and freezing the extras. The hubby likes them raw. Ours are done for the year, and we had a good crop, thank goodness. Plan is to put more in next year.
I made a homemade chicken soup the other day with one of our meat bird leftovers, and I threw the green peas in at the last few minutes. That worked out good
