Prepping Peas for Sautéing
Choose your pea type first — it affects timing. Fresh peas: shell and rinse just before cooking. Frozen peas: use straight from the freezer, no thawing needed; pat briefly with a paper towel to reduce moisture so they sauté instead of steam. Prep any aromatics (chopped onion, minced garlic) now. Measure out your fat — butter, neutral oil, or olive oil. Have salt, pepper, and any fresh herbs or lemon juice ready to go.

Cómo Saltear Arvejas
Calienta una sartén a fuego medio-alto. Agrega 1 cucharada de mantequilla o aceite y calienta hasta que brille, aproximadamente 30-60 segundos. Si usas aromáticos (cebolla, ajo), agrega ahora y cocina 2-3 minutos hasta que estén suavizados. Agrega aproximadamente 2 tazas de arvejas en una sola capa. Revuelve inmediatamente para cubrir con grasa. Mantén fuego a medio-alto y revuelve frecuentemente. Arvejas congeladas: cocina 3-5 minutos. Arvejas frescas: 5-7 minutos. Agrega una cucharada o dos de agua si la sartén se ve seca o las arvejas se cocinan desigualmente: usa menos con congeladas, ya que liberan humedad propia. Prueba al extremo inferior del rango de tiempo. Hecho cuando está tierna y dulce con color verde brillante. No te alejes: las arvejas van de perfectas a demasiado hechas rápido.

Doneness and Serving
Peas are done when tender, sweet, and bright green. Dull olive color means overcooked — remove from heat immediately, as residual heat carries on briefly. Season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon or fresh herbs right at the end. Serve straight away. Don't leave them on heat too long, and don't crowd the pan — use a large skillet so they cook evenly.
