- 2 small fresh tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon green chiles, chopped
- Few drops of soy sauce
- 1 cup palo verde peas, shucked *
Instructions
- Sauté onion and garlic until clear in butter.
- Dice tomatoes into pan.

Notes
* Pick the peas green on the tree before they dry. Shuck them at once and freeze them in double plastic bags.
